DW DWSM797 Dog Biscuit Clamp, 1 in, with L-Arm
The DWSM797 is a compact accessory clamp sized for a 1 in tube: it closes around it with a quick-release hinge and holds a 1/2 in rod. One inch is the diameter of a stand's lower sections, where a load is best carried.
What sets it apart
- Jaw sized for a 1 in tube
- Takes a 1/2 in rod
- Quick-release hinge
- 1/2 in to 9 mm L-arm adapter included
- Low anchor point, so more stable
Lower on the stand, so sturdier
A 1 in tube is usually found at the bottom of a stand, near the base. Mounting something there gives an immediate mechanical advantage: the load is low, the lever arm to the floor is short, and the stand takes it without leaning.
That is where you mount the heavy things (a second auxiliary snare, a good-sized bell, a percussion holder) rather than at the top of a thin tube.
A jaw doesn't adapt: it fits or it slips
You would like one clamp to work everywhere. In reality, a jaw that is too big doesn't wrap around the tube: it touches it at two points, spins at the first bit of stress, and marks the chrome from being overtightened.
This model exists precisely to avoid that compromise on a one-inch diameter. It is the exact counterpart of the 3/4 in version, and choosing between the two is done with a tape measure, not by eye.

Frequently asked questions
- What's the difference from the 3/4 in version?
- The diameter of the tube it closes on: one inch here, three quarters of an inch on the other. The rod it holds is 1/2 in in both cases.
- What happens if I clamp it on a thinner tube?
- It won't close far enough, spins under load and marks the chrome. Better to get the matching size.
- Can the L-arm take a 9 mm rod?
- Yes, the included adapter is made for that; it steps down from 1/2 in to 9 mm.
