Versa-Clamp is a Handy Shop Tool
I remember about a year or so ago, Tony Schrank called me. His uncle had patented a new type of clamping system called the VersaClamp™. Tony and his brother designed it for manufacturing. I had him send me one to take a look at. I recall at the time that it was unique in its ability to transform from a clamp to a vise with the addition of a couple of brackets you can mount to your bench.
Since that time, Tony has licensed the VersaClamp to PennTek Tools for manufacturing. (I wrote about PennTek Tools in this post.)
Here are some of the key features of the VersaClamp:
- Cam Locking Feature is easily activated with the Easy-Grip Handle and locks the work piece in place with up to 400 pounds of force
- Power of the clamp is not limited by the hand strength of the user
- Handle has multiple positions and pivots out of the way as needed
- When mounted as a vise, jaws turn to work at any angle
- Soft, non-marring jaws firmly hold the work piece
- Available in 12”, 20”, 36 and 48” openings – comes with mounting brackets and hardware
- Patented Cam Locking System
- Made in the USA
- Limited Lifetime Warranty
You can order the VersaClamp from Garrett Wade, Woodcraft, or directly from the VersaClamp web site.
