While at the IPMS Nationals in Chicago I ran across a rather
unique new tool. When I first saw the booth, my first thought was don't
stop, just keep on walking. But something caught my eye, and that was the
variety of ways in which the clamps were demonstrated by Mr. Berna himself
the inventor. So here they are, the Berna Assemblers MultiClamps, and they
are not your ordinary clamps. These clamps have poly carbonate jaws on
the carbon fiber beam, with flexible silicone rubber buffers. They are
very versatile and can be used as spreaders or clamps. They can also be
hooked together to provide a variety of holding and clamping functions. |

The soft jaws allow you to clamp on just about any surface, and easily
conforms to the surface of the part. Notice how the clamp easily works
with an delicate funnel on a 1/700 scale kit. Another benefit of the soft
jaw is that it will not damage your parts or leave any marks from the clamping. |

The clamps come with an instruction sheet that illustrates some of
the many ways in which the clamp can be employed. These clamps have many
uses and work on virtually any scale. They are modular and come in 3" and
8" lengths and as a starter set that includes a couple 3" clamps, one 8"
clamp and a connector strip to allow for even more options. They will be
a valuable addition to your workbench. If your local hobby shop doesn't
carry them then check out the link to Zona Tools. |
