Berna Clamps This revolutionary clamping system is an invention by one of the award winning inventor, French Dr. Philippe Berna. His hobby in restoring antique furniture had exhausted the use of conventional clamping devices because they were too heavy and clumsy. Many times, these ''traditional'' clamps would cause further damage to the object being repaired.

Berna Clamps Drawing on his knowledge of new space aged materials, such as lightweight, strong carbon fiber rods and ultra hard polycarbonate plastic, Dr. Berna devised the first new clamping system in decades. These new lightweight clamps provide constant force that you control. Their soft ''buffers'' help prevent damage to the object being clamped. The smooth carbon fibers shafts allow one hand application.

PRO Series Triple Pack (BA 1)  For Small, delicate, museum quality work there is the ''Professional'' series of miniature ''deli-clamps'', available in two packages. Style 1 contains 3 clamps, each clamps has a 3'' (8 mm) carbon fiber shaft, 2 removable rubber end stops and 2 polycarbonate ''jaws'', each jaw with a soft silicone ''buffer''. This ''triple pack'' also includes a 4-position connector to link the clamps shafts end to end. Packed in blister pack.

Master Series (PA X)  These larger versions of the PRO series are a true revolution in clamping tools! No workbench or toolbox should be without them.
