CLAW 5E
Description:
The Economy Claw with Looped Ends is a medium sized grabber tool constructed with a locking mechanism and wooden handle. The claw features looped ends that allow for secure gripping of hot glass pieces during lampworking and other glassblowing applications. The locking mechanism is controlled by a set screw that holds the claw in a closed position once adjusted, preventing accidental release while working with molten glass. This tool is designed for durability and ease of use in the studio environment.
How it is used:
Use the Economy Claw to safely grasp and manipulate hot glass pieces at the torch during lampworking and beadmaking. The looped ends provide a secure grip on rods, tubes, and formed pieces without slipping. Adjust the set screw to lock the claw at the desired tension, then release by loosening the screw when you need to remove the glass. This tool is essential for controlling larger pieces, holding glass while annealing, and managing work during complex multi-step projects where both hands need to be free for torching or shaping.
