Why are these clips/wheels called Covertec? Is that the real-world manufacturer, the SWU manufacturer, or something else?

Covertec is the company that made the clips used on screen. I think the exact clips are discontinued, but there's still a pretty good supply of them out in the wild. I'm not clear if there are generic "covertec" clips that work just as well, or only the branded ones. |

I see. Were they originally cell phone clips? _________________ Have you ever danced with the krayt dragon in the pale moonlight? |

Covertec is a brand name and what was used in the PT movies. But there are other similar clips out there. _________________ DXO of Royalty & Senatorial detachment
