Ridgid SuperClamp Portable Clamping Work Station

Ridgid just came out with the SuperClamp, robust mobile clamping workstation. The Superclamp has a solid array of user-friendly features, and bears an extremely close resemblance to Triton’s venerable Superjaws workbench.

With a jaw capacity of 37-1/2″, and a foot operated clamp capable of exerting 2,000 pounds of force, the SuperClamp will be definitely be a strong competitor to Rockwell’s Jawhorse.

The SuperClamp can support up to 220lbs, weighs 37lbs, and collapses into itself for high portability. You can buy the Ridgid SuperClamp (AC9955) at Home Depot’s website before it hits stores for $159, which at this time includes free shipping.

Triton Superjaws via Amazon (for price comparison purposes seeing as the two work stations are identical)

Thanks to reader and frequent commentor Uthscsaedu for informing us of the SuperClamp’s arrival!

    What a coincidence – on 4/10 the JAWHORSE is on sale at Tooliday.com for $159 (plus $6 shipping)

    This is the cheapest I’ve ever seen the Jawhorse and it happens to be the same as the Ridgid superclamp.

    Seems like the original patent ran out. Now everyone will be making one.

    So, how long will it take HF to make one for $39.99 plus 20% off?

    I have been wanting one of these clamp stations ever since the Jawhorse came out. I’m too cheap to buy one until I can get a really good deal on one. I’ll be happy when I can get one for $100, even if that takes a couple years.

    the rockwell jawhorse can hold 600 pounds compared to the superclamp at 220.. jawhorse also has a dump load of extensions…plus the jawhorse has no plastic parts to break..superclamp does.

    the jawhorse also has a 5 year warranty while the superclamp only has a 3 year..and as joe said the jawhorse can hold 600 lbs and the superclamp can hold 220 lbs so its not rocket science what one is built better and stronger

    That’s strange, it looks like Joe and Dave’s comments came from the same person…

    Whether or not they (both?) have a biased agenda, their points are valid. Yes, the clamps have different capacities, warranties, and available accessories and attachments. Some of the Jawhorse’s extensions can be replicated by a DIYer quite easily while others cannot.

    Since this post was first published, we spoke a bit more about the two clamping systems. Our bottom line conclusion was that the Jawhorse should be seen as an upgrade to the SuperJaws/SuperClamp, but its added features come at a higher price. The clamping products are not on a level playing field.

    If given then need, we’d likely opt for the Jawhorse. But, if on a tighter budget, the more affordable SuperJaws/SuperClamp is a LOT better than nothing.

    I was reading some of the more recent comments on homedepot.com

    The users comment that it is not as well made as the jawhorse

    They display this with a cinderblock in the jaw at my local HD, guess they’re not afraid of little kids touching it.

    I would take some of the reviews with a grain of salt – both the overly positive and negative ones. They seem to have made up their minds before even trying it out.

    In regards to the jawhorse, I don’t think too many of us will be using ether one of these tools for holding 600, 500, 400, or even 300 lbs. After much consideration and research, I bought the Ridgid at HD for $139 and found it to be quite sufficient.

    I just saw this Ridgid Superclamp selling (NIB) @ Home Depot in Tampa for $113. Since I have never worked on anything even close to 220 lbs., I think I’ll save the $60.
