DW DWSM798 Accessory Dogbone Clamp, 12 in, with Quick-Release Ratchets
The DWSM798 is a dogbone clamp that spans twelve inches from one ratchet to the other. It is the medium reach: long enough to cross over a tom or get around a stand, short enough to keep the whole thing rigid.
What sets it apart
- Twelve inches between the two clamping points
- Quick-release ratchet on each side
- Compatible with 1/2 in arms and rods
- DWSMMGM memory lock included
- Reach between the short model and the telescoping one
Getting past an obstacle without giving up rigidity
Between the eight inches that won't clear a tom and the telescoping model that loses rigidity as it extends, there is a middle ground. This is it.
Twelve inches in one piece, with no sliding joint: the part doesn't flex and its length can't drift, since there is nothing to adjust. That is often what you want on a setup you would rather forget about once it's in place.
Quick release on a part you move around
A foot of reach gets moved more often than a short clamp: you use it to try one position, then another. The two ratchets let you do that without tools and without losing hardware along the way.
Once you have found the right position, the memory lock holds it. The next setup doesn't start the search over.

Frequently asked questions
- Is twelve inches too long for a heavy cymbal?
- The longer the reach, the more the load weighs on the anchor. For a heavy cymbal, a shorter clamp is still the better choice.
- Can I use it between two different stands?
- Yes, as long as each end finds a 1/2 in arm or rod to grab.
- Can the ratchet be set at an angle?
- It locks the position you choose. That is what keeps an angle found at rehearsal from slipping during the gig.
