DW DWSM776 Ratchet Dogbone with Two Adjustable V Clamps
The DWSM776 is a dogbone multi clamp with a V-shaped jaw at each end, and each one adjusts on its own ratchet. It is the heavy-duty piece for dense setups: wherever two tubes have to be locked together at an angle you choose and that holds.
What sets it apart
- A V clamp at each end, two tubes held
- Ratchet adjustment, angle held under load
- SMMGM memory lock included
- Adds onto an arm, rod or tube already in place
- Heavy-duty build, designed for touring
What a ratchet adds over friction alone
An angle held by friction depends entirely on how tight it is. Under the vibrations of a gig, the friction slowly gives and the angle drops a few degrees — enough for a cymbal to be out of place by the third song.
A ratchet uses teeth: the angle is mechanically locked, not just wedged. You lose the fine control of continuous adjustment, and you gain the certainty that nothing will move.
Two identical jaws, and why that is deliberate
That symmetry is not lazy design: it makes the piece reversible. In a complex setup, you do not always know in advance which tube will do the carrying and which will be carried. With two identical ends, the question goes away.
It also simplifies keeping stock of hardware: a single model covers every tube-to-tube connection.

Compare with other manufacturers
Tube-to-tube connections with a locked angle from other manufacturers:
| Manufacturer | Comparable model | What differs |
|---|---|---|
| Pearl | Rack connecting clamp | Angle held by friction rather than teeth |
| Gibraltar | Ratchet clamp from its rack line | Different diameter range |
| Tama | Double clamp from its heavy-duty hardware | Shorter body, less reach |
| Mapex | Double-jaw rack connector | Designed for its own tubes |
Frequently asked questions
- What is the exact length of the piece?
- The manufacturer does not state an overall measurement for this model. We prefer not to give one.
- Does the ratchet allow fine adjustment?
- No, it moves in steps. That is the deliberate trade-off: less fine control, but an angle that does not sag under vibration.
- Can I use it on another brand's tube?
- Yes, as long as the diameter fits in the jaw. The tube's geometry decides.
- Is one memory lock enough?
- It marks the position on the supporting tube. Nothing stops you from adding a second one if your setup calls for it.
