Kit Converts Handheld Clamp To Bench Mount

“My patent pending ‘convert-a-clamp’ kit is designed to convert a handheld Jorgenson clamp to a bench or table-mounted device. It allows you to hold objects rigidly in place so you can use both hands when working,” says Darrell Kittleson, Amery, Wis.
  Kittleson’s kit consists of 2 round metal sleeves – an outer one that bolts to the workbench and an inner “sleeve” that’s free to rotate inside it. You remove the stationary jaw from the clamp and replace it with the inner sleeve, then line up holes in the sleeves and insert a 1/4-in. dia. metal pin through the inner sleeve and through a hole in the bar where the stationary jaw was riveted on.
  “It’s a simple idea that makes the Jorgensen clamp a lot more useful. It’ll also work with any handheld, squeeze-type quick clamp,” says Kittleson. “It works great for clamping two boards that you want to glue together because you can hold the boards vertically in place. If you want you can anchor extra long Jorgensen clamps to your floor for any really long pieces you need to hold in place.”
  The kit sells for $17.95 plus S&H.
