Legends tell of a clamp so powerful that even iPads shiver when they hear its name. Mothers all over the world tell their children that if they use too much adhesive on their electronics, a certain clamp will visit you in the night—and show no mercy.

That clamp is called Anti-Clamp (affectionately nicknamed Clampy), whom we have crowned the new king of device opening. The ruler of the glass throne, if you will.

We superpowered our Suction Handle, added hands-free, precision control—and voilà, the Anti-Clamp was born. Appropriate for beginners to Pros, Anti-Clamp transforms the painstaking process of opening screens into a simple turn of a crank: opposed suction cups secure front and back surfaces, and a new straightforward handle adjusts applied force for hands-free removal. The result: an easy and accurate opening experience that lets you pry and slice, and keeps repair-induced cracks at bay. Opening screens has never been more fun!

Effortless Removal
Transform the painstaking process of removing screens and keep repair-induced cracks at bay with suction cup pliers, powered by hands-free force application.

Precision and Control
Pry and slice without causing damage. Opposed suction cups secure both front and back surfaces at once, and a leadscrew handle allows for adjustable spreading force.

Hands-Free Convenience
Set it and move on. Anti-Clamp's hands-free operation allows multitasking while securely holding your device, making screen repairs more efficient than ever.
