Hey guys
I just posted a video showing off a new clamp design I’ve been working on, and I wanted to give you the rundown here . Most of you are already familiar with the standard tube-style table clamps—useful, sure, but limited. They really only operate in a narrow range of motion, and for most jobs, that’s fine. But I looked at that classic design and thought, we can do better—without overcomplicating it or adding more parts.
So I added a 45-degree bend at the top of the clamp tube, and that small change opens up a huge range of motion. Suddenly, you’re getting more reach, more clearance, and more flexibility in tight spots. Have a big bowed panel and need pressure right in the center? No problem. Need to sneak around tubing or blocky weldments? You can now go up, over, and push exactly where you need to. The clamp disassembles easily so you can even use just half of it when the job calls for it.
One of my favorite new features is being able to use the side of the table for clamping. Flip the foot, reorient the screw, and boom—you’re clamping on the edge instead of fighting a blocked hole on top. It’s such a simple move, but if you’ve ever worked on a table with a frame or sidewalls, you know how valuable that real estate is. This clamp turns what used to be dead zones into usable surfaces.
I wanted to pack a ton of utility into a single clamp without making it fussy or over-engineered. If you’ve got our standard tube clamps, this is going to feel familiar, but way more versatile. You can combine it with other clamp setups, get more aggressive reach, and solve a lot of those weird edge-case problems without needing a whole new tool. I’m excited to see how you all use it. Let me know what you think or drop your own setups below.
