New CLAMPS from DREMEL

Dremel is launching a new range of easy-release, lightweight clamps for hobbyists in October 2008.



The clamps are made of high grade plastic and are lighter than steel equivalents, ensuring no extra stress is added to a work piece.



The Ratchet Clamp has a variable clamping force instead of the fixed pressure of a standard spring-fitted clamp. The protective caps swivel as opposed to being fixed, and are secured on the clamp rather than being removable. Soft grip handles come as standard for a high quality touch and feel.

The Ratchet Clamps come in a small and large size with maximum spacing of 30mm and 50mm respectively.
The Bar Clamp has a maximum spacing capacity of 108mm, with precision opening as well as closing. The sliding system allows precise controlling of the clamping force, whilst the reverse assembly quickly converts the bar clamp into a spreader.
Very user friendly with ergonomic design and high grade materials for a long product life, the new Dremel clamps are especially good for small hobby projects.
Priced at £6.99 for the Ratchet Clamps in both sizes (small and large), and £13.99 for the Bar Clamp, at all good DIY shops. For more information visit: http://www.dremeleurope.com
