Description of Ultimate Versatility: Kant Twist 401 Universal Standard Tool

Multi-purpose clamps combine the best features of ordinary "C" and parallel clamps. Free-floating jaws adjust to un-parallel surfaces. Will not "walk off-center" when pressure is applied against jaw, because there is no unsupported screw or loose pad. All clamps are of rugged construction. Provides new freedom of movement, eliminates distorting and twisting action of conventional clamps plus, it provides three different gripping surfaces.

Compact clamp that holds the workpiece very firmly.

If you work with fine details, get some of these clips. For the size of the clip (1 inch in this case), these clips take up much less space than regular C-clamps. With C-clamps, you can choose to have multiple clamps above or below the workpiece, and if you're also using a vise, this can be cumbersome to set up. These Kant Twist clamps are very compact and easier to position away from everything. I've included some photos showing the 1" Kant Twist versus the 1" C Clamp. Another great feature of

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly crumpled

Monster clip did its job

We bought this powerful clip for a very unusual job. I serve on the Cemetery Commission in my tiny 220 year old town. Over the years, many of the corner markers (square stones of marble or granite with a single initial at the top, marking the property line) have fallen out of sight and become covered with the accumulated dirt of many mowing areas. One of our members had the idea that if the stone could somehow reach the top edges, it could be lifted without digging it up and damaging the stone.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Awesome Design: Power & Hand Tools

Very Good Clips. Easy to use, well designed and with good tolerances. I bought 2x 2 inch models. I found that one of the two clamps was a little harder to turn than the other. This was only due to a slight bend in the screw, but after lubricating the threads and pins it worked quite well. smoothly, and I'm sure it will turn even easier with use. They don't interfere with the vise position on the underside like the C-clamps do. They open just enough for me to clamp a 3/4" plywood into the jig's…

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Expensive
