Next-Gen Black Hyper-Chrome Matthellini2 Clamp
Matthews Studio Equipment has released the Black Hyper-Chrome Matthellini2, a re-engineered version of the company's iconic Matthellini Clamp that's been a professional set staple for generations. While preserving the grip performance professionals rely on across every shape — flat, round, square, and irregular — this next-gen grip essential now handles a broader range of forms with superior durability. With a low-key professional appearance, Matthews' proprietary black Hyper-Chrome finish provides superior strength and durability, protecting against the wear and tear of daily use. Beyond the good looks, Matthellini2 offers significant operating advantages.
Versatile Jam-Free Jaws
The Matthellini2 redesign is focused on increased functionality over the long run. The original time-proven dual parallel jaw design—with one fixed jaw mounted at the base of the baby pin portion of the shaft—successfully demonstrated that, when clamped, equipment stays put, whether mounting to round pipe, square tubing, or any rectangular profile. Now, the new Matthellini2 jaws do even more. Ready to perform tasks no similar tool can accomplish—only Matthellini 2 also adeptly clamps to flat material such as plywood, plexiglass and 2 x 4s.
Designed to operate even under demanding conditions, this new generation Matthellini features thicker jaws with an innovative curved radius to prevent cracking and seizing, that might otherwise occur with heavy wear. Plus, the new red jaw pads improve gripping power while protecting the surfaces they affix to, which is crucial when working with costly equipment or pristine architecture.
Stainless Steel Durability
Matthews added stainless steel where it counts, like the new Matthellini2 stainless steel shaft. Other improvements include with an innovative 1/4"-20 threaded receiver within the tapered Baby Pin to enable efficient single-clamp setups for simple applications as well as elaborate rigging configurations. Plus, new stainless steel Acme threads deliver notably smooth spinning action, for consistent performance across thousands of uses.
Spins Quicker
The new Matthellini Clamp maintains the original's oversized, spinning handle that provides exceptional leverage and control, but adds a crucial upgrade: the handle now spins significantly faster than its predecessor—making setup and adjustments quicker and more efficient on busy sets.
The Matthellini2 is available now from Matthews Studio Equipment. For complete specifications, pricing, and ordering information, visit bit.ly/Matthellini2 or visit msegrip.com.
