The Handle Clamp Bolts To Any Flat Surface
Wayne Tjeerdsma, Slectro Co., Avon, S. Dak. (www.slectro.com; ph 605 286-3221): “The Handle Clamp ($37.50) bolts to any flat surface and is designed to hold tools such as a broom, shovel, grease gun, rake, ax, etc.
  “To use the Handle Clamp you pull back to open the jaw, then place the tool inside the jaw and release the handle. Torsion springs hold it closed. To adjust the size of the jaw opening you loosen a wing nut located on the handle, then move a slide stop up or down and retighten the wing nut.
  “Jaw pressure varies from 53 to 88 lbs. depending on the size of the tool being held. The more you open the slide stop, the higher the pressure. At a 3/4 in. setting, the jaw pressure is 88 lbs.; at a 2 1/4-in. setting it’s only 53 lbs. It’s built rugged and holds the tool securely wherever you need it. A lot of people use it to carry brooms in the back of livestock trailers. It also works great to carry shovels and grease guns. The jaw can be adjusted to hold objects anywhere from 3/4 to 2 1/4 in. in diameter, which is wide enough for a grease gun.”
