1. A grounding clip for electrically bonding at least three objects in one action, said grounding clip comprising;

  • (a) a planar body disposed in a plane;

    (b) a pair of opposingly disposed first banks of teeth, wherein each first bank of teeth is disposed in a plane and extending downwardly and outwardly from said planar body at a first angle with respect to said planar body; and

    (c) a pair of opposingly disposed second banks of teeth, wherein each second bank of teeth comprises a rotatable plate disposed in a plane and at a second angle with respect to said planar body and extending downwardly and outwardly from said planar body and terminating in a plurality of second teeth disposed upwardly in a plane and at a third angle with respect to said rotatable plate,wherein said grounding clip is interposed between said at least three objects and said grounding clip is disposed with each of said pair of first banks of teeth facing one of said three objects and when a force is applied substantially perpendicularly to said plane of said planar body, said pair of second banks of teeth is adapted to rotate outwardly from said planar body and cause electrical grounding with the other ones of said at least three objects and said first, second and third angles are configured to prevent relative movement of said at least three objects in said plane of said planar body and said second angle is configured to enable rotation of said rotatable plate.
