A quick grip pocket hole jig system is presented having a support section having a clamp support, an end stop and a back stop. A clamping assembly is connected to the support section having a clamping rod that extends through the clamp support. A drill guide carrier having a drill guide assembly is connected to the clamping rod on a forward side of the clamp support. A clamp body having a trigger and a release mechanism is connected to the clamping rod on a rearward side of the clamp support. The clamp body is a quick grip clamp body that facilitates quick gripping of a workpiece positioned within the support section. The clamping assembly includes a return spring and a release mechanism such that when the release mechanism is actuated the drill guide carrier and the drill guide assembly are automatically moved to a non-clamping position.

An adjustable hose clamping arrangement for vacuum-tight sealing of a hose of a flexible insert to a free end of a steel branch of a vacuum mold. The adjustable hose clamping arrangement includes a clamping device configured for fixedly clamping the hose such that a relative movement between the hose and the clamping device is inhibited, a mold bracket configured for being mountable to the steel branch of the vacuum mold, and two connecting devices, wherein a first end of each of the two connecting devices is connected to the clamping device and a second end of each of the two connecting devices being opposite of the first end, is connected to the mold bracket such that an outer surface of the hose next to a free end of the steel branch is accessible for the vacuum-tight sealing between the hose and the free end of the steel branch.

A fast grip pocket hole jig system is presented having a support section having a clamp support, an end stop and a back stop. A clamping assembly is connected to the support section having a clamping rod that extends through the clamp support. A drill guide carrier having a drill guide assembly is connected to the clamping rod on a forward side of the clamp support The clamping assembly includes a multi directional movement mechanism operatively connected to the drill guide assembly. In one or more arrangements, the multi directional movement mechanism includes a forward actuator and a rearward actuator. The multi directional movement mechanism is configured to move clamping rod and/or drill guide carrier forward when the forward actuator is actuated. Conversely, the multi directional movement mechanism is configured to move clamping rod and/or drill guide carrier rearward when the rearward actuator is actuated.
