The stage clamp arrived very quickly and was as described. There are a few points worth noting that were not mentioned in the description for the clamp.
Packaging:
The clamp arrived in a small cardboard box, with the clamp inside. Recyclable packaging with no plastic is great to see. Amazing work Thomann and Stairville!
Feel:
The product feels reasonably sturdy, however there is some play and wiggle in the joint between the clamp and bolt and screw. When tightened properly this should be fine for connecting staging, but leads to some concern if knocked when storing it may break.
The spring when compressed fully leaves a good sized gap between the two "heads" of the clamp. Although this is no issue for the tour stage blocks, this could lead to issues if attempting to use with another similar brand stage.
I am unsure how long the spring will last, but I will update should there be any failures of the spring.
Use:
I have used the clamp to secure both stairville tour stage blocks, as well as a number of other stage blocks that are unbranded or non stairville. The blocks are securely held together, but I would recommend using two clamps per long edge of a stage block for security.
4/5 rating, would buy again. However I think adding some dimensions and minimum width when closed to the product page would be good.
