Kudo Crafters Clamp  

Title: Kudo Crafters Clamp

Purpose of the Design: The Kudo Crafters Clamp is designed to assist hobbyists by gently holding objects temporarily for assembly and detailing. The clamp is a one-piece design, consisting of jaws, handles, and three concentric bands, which act as both springs and pivot. When the handles are squeezed together the jaws open, and kinetic energy is stored in the bands. When the handles are released the jaws firmly clamp onto the selected object.
