Rockler Mini Sure-Foot Clamps

Rockler Woodworking and Hardware has expanded its line of award-winning Sure-Foot clamping tools with an accessory that makes gluing up small projects more stable, precise and easy.

"We wanted to bring the stability and convenience of our full-size Sure-Foot clamps to smaller projects," said Steve Krohmer, Rockler's vice president of product development. "This conversion kit allows users to adapt their Clamp–It Bar Clamps to create the perfect clamping tool for smaller projects like keepsake boxes or small panels."

The Mini Sure-Foot Conversion Kit for Clamp-It Bar Clamps includes wide attachment feet that snap securely onto both ends of a Clamp-It Bar Clamp (sold separately) and two sliding spacer attachments that fit onto the clamp's bar. The feet keep the clamp from tipping over, and they incorporate holes that allow users to screw them to a workbench or fixture.

They also elevate the clamp, making it easier to turn the handle. The sliding spacers lift the workpiece off the clamp bar, preventing discoloration across glue lines, and they center thinner stock between the clamp jaws for more even pressure.

The Mini Sure-Foot Conversion Kit (55952) includes attachments for one clamp and works with 5", 8" and 12" Clamp-It Bar Clamps. It is priced at $7.99 for the kit alone.

For those who don't already have compatible Clamp-It Bar Clamps, Rockler has created package deals that combine the Conversion Kit with a 5", 8" or 12" clamp. The 5'' Clamp-It Bar Clamp with Mini Sure-Foot Conversion Kit (53854) is priced at $15.98; the 8" kit (57916) is priced at $17.98; and the 12" kit (51327) is priced at $18.98.
