VersaGrip Clamp

 

VersaGrip Clamps

Fast, versatile one-handed clamping

The VersaGrip’s adaptable clamp head is repositionable along the bar and is also reversible, so it can be used in a variety of clamping and spreader applications. The soft, non-marring clamp pads are also removeable. The handle features an easy-release trigger for quick unclamping. A 3 1/4″ jaw depth makes VersaGrip Clamps the ideal choice for use with Kreg jigs or thicker workpieces.

Each VersaGrip clamp also comes with a Pocket-Hole Jig Adapter to pair easily with Kreg 300-Series and XL Pocket-Hole Jigs. VersaGrip Clamps are available in four lengths – 6″, 12″, 24″, and 36″ – to suit all your different project needs.
