Impact Super Clamp with Ratchet Handle

The Impact Super Clamp with Ratchet Handle is a versatile grip tool made of lightweight cast alloy. With a load capacity of 33 lb, the clamp can hold a wide variety of items such as cameras, lights, umbrellas, hooks, shelves, plate glass, cross bars, even other Super Clamps.

The Super Clamp can be securely mounted on any tube or pipe from 0.5" to 2.1" and is supplied with a wedge insert for clamping onto flat surfaces. The ratchet handle allows you to disengage it and tighten it down from any angle; a very handy feature when you're using the clamp in tight quarters. A built-in socket holds 5/8" accessories such as the supplied SRP-102 Hex Stud with 1/4"-20 male thread.

Impact 59" Varipole Extension (Silver)

The Impact 59" Varipole Extension is a 59" (1.5 m) extension pole for the Varipole Support System. The maximum reach of the basic Varipole is 12.1' (3.7 m), and if that is not long enough for your needs, use the Varipole Extension to extend it with an extra 59" (1.5 m).

The Varipole Support System mounts between floors, ceilings or walls to provide support for grip accessories, reflectors or lights. This extension bar can also be used as a background crossbar, when using the Varipole system in the horizontal orientation. Varipole Extension bars come in lengths of 59" (1.5 m) and 78" (2 m), and in either a black powder or a brushed aluminum silver finish.

The Varipole Extension is solidly built and easy to set up. Simply remove the spring-loaded tube from the top of the Varipole and insert the narrow end of the Varipole Extension. Replace the tube of the Varipole and you now have more reach capability for that higher ceiling or farther wall.

Can the VariDrives be used with U-hooks?
Asked by: Sandy
Unfortunately, the Impact Varidrives are incompatible with the U-Hooks offered in this Impact Basic Varipole Support System. To use the Varidrives, you may add the Impact ME-122P Single Background Holder Hooks for Super Clamps (2-Pack), BH # IMME122P to the included Super Clamps. https://bhpho.to/3OYFCMe
