The RAM Mounts RAP-B-400U Tough-Claw Small Clamp Base is a versatile, tool-free mounting solution designed to quickly attach to round, square, and irregularly shaped rails and bars. Tightening with a simple turn of the knob, the Tough-Claw clamps securely onto rail and tube surfaces ranging from 0.625" to 1.5" outer diameter, and onto flat surfaces up to 1.14" thick — no tools required for installation or removal.
Built for durability across demanding environments, the Tough-Claw features high-strength glass-filled nylon construction with corrosion-resistant stainless steel hardware. Integrated rubber pads inside the clamp jaw protect mounting surfaces from scuffs and marring while providing a stable, even grip. The clamp jaw geometry accommodates round, flat, and odd-shaped profiles with ease.
Included with this base is a B-Size 1" diameter rubber ball, which interfaces with the full range of RAM double socket arms and cradle accessories (sold separately), enabling nearly infinite positional adjustment for your device. The system supports loads up to 2 lbs., making it ideal for smartphones, action cameras, small tablets, and rod holders.
