Item Name: Marble Meister Mini Locking Claw SKU: CLAW14 Description: The Marble Meister Mini Locking Claw is a specialized holding tool designed for lampworking and beadmaking, particularly for working with small glass pieces such as beads and marbles. The tool features a metal handle approximately 9 inches long with claw tips that grip the outside of hot glass artwork. The claw opens to a maximum width of 1.5 inches, making it ideal for securing small to medium-sized components during flameworking. A set screw mechanism allows the user to lock the claw tight once the glass piece is positioned, preventing slipping or unwanted movement during the working process. This tool is essential when you need both hands free to shape, decorate, or manipulate the glass while maintaining a secure grip on the workpiece. How it is used: Position the hot glass bead or marble between the claw tips Adjust the claw opening to fit snugly around the outside of the piece Tighten the set screw to lock the claw securely in place Use the handle to hold and rotate the piece as needed during flameworking Release the set screw to remove the finished piece once it has cooled enough to handle safely Dimensions: Approximately 9" long Claw opening max 1.5"
