Quacker Clamp

The quacker clamp can be used to hold styrofoam bounce boards in place

Quacker Clamps (also known as Duck Bill Clamps) are primarily used for positioning bounce boards, foam core, and reflectors with ease. 

Quacker Clamp

The Quacker Clamp is built with the Original Vise-Grip, consisting on a release lever and thumb bolt to ensure tightness. First, Open the jaws and adjust the size of the jaws via the thumb bolt. Find the textured bolt at the very end of the top handle. Turn the bolt left to loosen/ widen the jaws, and right to tighten/ shrink the jaws. 

 

To clamp, place your board in between the plates. 

Grip both large handles and squeeze them tightly together. You will feel a distinct physical snap and hear a "click" when the handles lock into place. 

 

To release, press or pop the small lever toward the bottom handle. This action breaks the locking mechanism, causing the wide metal jaws to spring open. (Tip: Keep your fingers clear of the jaws when releasing, as they can snap open quickly.)
