a dual action design. The string clamp and
the clamp base operate independently of
one another.
To clamp a string, lift the clamp head and
place the string between the jaws. Depress
the clamp head lever to secure the string.

sure to secure the string when subjected to
the desired pulling tension. The diamond
coated gripper plates provide for increased
friction between the clamps and the string to allow for reduced clamping pressure while
securing and holding the string under tension.
