Versatile Clamps

Versatile clamps connect to a ring stand at one end and to glassware at the other end. They are designed for clamping cylindrical objects. The middle of the clamp has a nut which can be loosened. When loose, the clamp is free to turn to a new direction, hence the name "versatile" clamp.

The wing nut on the clamp part often becomes stripped and the clamp no longer will stay closed. If your clamp does not work, try a new wing nut first: they are located on the cart in the front of the stockroom.
