Introducing our NEW Picture Framing Rod Connector.

Made from the same carbon fibre reinforced composite plastic as our framing clamps, these rod connectors enable you to extend your framing clamps beyond 500mm (the maximum size of rod we can ship). 

Simply screw in a rod to each end of the rod connector until they bottom out, then build your picture framing clamp as you would normally.

Be aware that we're selling the connectors as individual items in order to give you the flexibility of ordering exactly what you need in whatever quantities you desire. If you want to expand your triangle frame, you'll need 3 connectors. Expanding your square frame? You'll need 4 connectors, etc.

Please note: If you want to make use of these connectors, you'll need double the amount of rods for any given frame. You can purchase additional rods here.

Beautifully made and very well packaged

Beautifully made and very well packaged. Simple but effective. Perhaps the spinnymajig could be made from a softer material to improve grip, but it works.

The perfect 4 sided clamp

I purchased one set of the 500x500 clamps and they’re brilliant! If you need a 4 sided clamp these are the ones you want. The threads are super smooth, nuts are easy to adjust and the clamp heads are slim which is for great for finer woodwork. The clamp heads & nuts come in a useful storage box and the threaded bars have a Velcro tie. Didn’t get the spinnymajig but looking back would’ve been a good shout!

These are just great !

These are just great !What would be good is a cam lock quick release /apply design and laser etched illuminous graduation marks so you can align corners all accurately and quickly before applying pressure via clamps /screws So much better than the bessey ribbon clamp.

They work fantastic

They work fantastic, just wish I had ordered the drill attachment with it right away, but I quickly rectified that oversight. Great product Matt.

Perfect for clamping our CardKitty cradles and boxes!

I’ve been looking for a decent option for clamping some particularly awkward to align products (https://garden55crafts.co.uk/products/the-card-kitty-cradle) for ages, and these are the perfect option, no twisting as they tighten like so many other clamps do so everything stays square and can be adjusted/tightened with fingertip control. Beautifully presented, and fab consistent quality!

Another class shop accessory

I’m ne of the major pains of making picture frames was clamping the mitres up, not anymore. These nifty corner clamps are excellent, the knurled screws enable good solid even pressure and the plastic clamps do not damage the wood. They come in a really nice package to keep all the parts together between uses. The fact you can get them without the threaded rod was a good option to allow for the purchase of a size of rod your choice. Another amazing addition to the collection well done guys.

Best Ever!

I have bought all sorts
Of corner clamps over the years and none of them come close to the accuracy I can achieve with these rods. I used them for the first time today and now I am planning all sorts of picture frames for presents etc. well
done boys!

So good I bought two!

Another great product from Matt & Team, not only does it work really well, but as usual with these guys they are beautifully packaged - to the point it almost seems a shame to remove them from it!! As the rods are completely separate and standard diameters it means you can swap them in and out for lengths that suit your project (within the tolerance of the rod diameter you are using, with the 6mm rod I’ve gone up to 50cm). I use it for frames, boxes, anything square basically. Highly recommended!

AS ALWAYS, GREAT PRODUCT, GREAT SERVICE, GREAT PRICE, FAST DELIVERY. IT'S ALL JUST GREAT.

Hi Geoff, thank you for the review! Could I be realllly cheeky and ask why you didn't give us 5 stars? It would be great to know how we could improve! Cheers, Rob

Solved a framing problem I have

I've bought 2 sets, 1 for small 50cm frames, and another set for 1 metre frames.
I've tried several ways to clamp mitre joins with mixed success. These clamps never fail. The accurate flush join makes my frames perfect every time, no clean up required, or sanding, which you don't want with frames, as you then have to paint, or disguise the area.
A fabulous, affordable solution.

Clamps for box making can be a challenge but not with the full Monty

Clamps for box making can be a challenge but not with the full Monty. This clamping system allows clamping at the correct position and force. It comes with angled blocks for doing various sided boxes which I have not used yet.

Really well made 3D printed tool

Really well made 3D printed tool. Nice attention to detail. The packaging was well considered and adds a nice ‘unboxing’ experience. You ‘get’ your target audience. ; )
