These are often found on vacuum cleaner cables and such.

I'd like one to clip onto a two wire (two pronged, no ground) flat cable like this one:

Anything like that exist yet?

I don't know of any off the top of my head, but with a cheap digital caliper and tinkercad, I assume you'd be able to model one fairly trivially. You could friction-fit two halves around the cable, and secure it with some simple adhesive, or some kind of simple bolt/nut fastener mount if you wanted to get clever.

Never not learn a new skill!
