Compliers Inc. KUDO Crafters Clamp

KUDO Crafters Clamp is a one‑piece all‑plastic hand clamp designed by Steve Visser to assist the hobbyists by gently holding objects temporarily for assembly and detailing. When the handles are squeezed together, the jaws open.  When the handles are released, the jaws close on the object, much like a surgical implement.  This product exemplifies the following Principles of Universal Design:

Equitable Use: The product is attractive and appears to be useful in a wide variety of hobbies and crafts;

Flexibility in Use: The design accommodates a wide range of individual preferences and abilities, since it may be used with either the right or left hand;

Simple and Intuitive Use: The clamp is extremely easy to use, mimicking the hand in its operation;

Tolerance for Error: The product minimizes hazards and the adverse consequences of  accidental or unintended actions, since the structure flexes to avoid excessive pressure on delicate  objects;

Low Physical Effort:  The product can be used efficiently and  comfortably with a minimum of fatigue, because the design automatically maintains a constant  pressure on the object.  Manual effort is needed only to position the clamp.  Unlike other types of craft clamps, the product can be used with one hand.
