Kreg Jig Clamp Adapter

I made this adapter to allow Pittsburgh 11" Locking Pliers (Harbor Freight) to work with a Kreg Jig. The Pittsburgh Locking Pliers cost me just over $5 at HF as opposed to around $20 for the official Kreg Jig clamp.

Here's a link to the HF pliers that I used, though the link may stop working down the road: https://www.harborfreight.com/11-inch-swivel-pad-lock-grip-pliers-39535.html

Printer Brand:

Printer:

CR-10

Rafts:

No

Supports:

Yes

Resolution:

0.28

Infill:

40%

Filament: Hatchbox PLA Black

Notes:

I printed this with fairly high infill density (40%), though upping the infill didn't effect print time much. I used supports to get a clean slot for the pliers. The supports were really easy for me to remove.

To insert this into the Kreg Jig, I find it best to insert it sideways and turn the adapter to click the second notch into place.
