Every woodworker has heard (or given) the same advice, “You can never have too many clamps.” But what are you supposed to do with all those clamps once you have them in your shop? You need them accessible, organized and condensed in as tight a space as possible. Here’s just the system you need to accomplish that, regardless of your clamp size, style or how many you have.
Woodpeckers new Clamp Rack-It System takes a modular approach to organizing your clamps. Two sizes of arms can be bolted to the backer plates at a wide variety of spacings. Just find the spacing that most closely matches your clamp bar sizes, use Large Arms for heavy clamps (like parallel jaw and 3/4" pipe clamps) and Small Arms for lighter duty clamps (F-style and quick action clamps, for example), bolt it all up and start racking.
The photo above shows 43 clamps stored on 3 pairs of large arms and 2 pairs of small arms on just 16 inches of wall space! The backer plates come in 4 sizes, 6", 16", 24" and 32". They must be attached directly to studs, but we’ve made that easy. The 6" can be centered on one stud. The 16" fits stud-to-stud on a normal stud pattern. The 24" and 32" are fully compatible with either 16" or 24" stud spacing. If you need more than one backer plate, they’re designed to share lag bolts and fit flush when you butt them end-to-end.
The Clamp Rack-It System backer plates and arms are laser cut from 13-gauge steel, formed on CNC equipment and then given a tough, durable powder coat finish. The powder coat will stand up to years of racking and un-racking your clamps, keeping your shop looking as good as your finished projects.
All components are available individually. To get you started we’ve bundled the 3 larger backer plates with 3 pairs of large arms and 2 pairs of small arms (just like the pictures). That will just about max out the 16", but you can add more arms to either the 24" or 32" backer plates…just add the arm sets you need for the clamps you have. We have three bundles available for the 6" backer plate…two pair of large arms, two pair of small arms or one pair of each.
