When to choose it

Choose this Glassco stretcher when you need to hold one end of a length of lead came before it is cut for the panel. The clamp is for the strip itself. That role differs from the blocks or nails that hold individual pieces during assembly.

Check the mounting position and the space available along the bench before buying. The listing identifies model 5101 as a lead came tool. If your immediate job is cutting the channel to size, compare a came knife or nipper rather than adding a separate holding station.

Questions about this product

Does this cut the came?

The tool holds the came for preparation. Use a separately documented cutter for trimming.

When is a layout block useful instead?

Use a block to hold pieces at the assembly stage. The 5101 is meant to hold an end of the came strip beforehand.

What should I measure on the bench?

Check the work surface and the space available in line with the clamp.
