Scissor clamp

- The scissor clamp may be a one trick pony but it's a great trick that it performs. It's designed to let you hang a light off the drop ceiling tile support rails that you find in a lot of offices. And a lot of times, you know, where can I put the light? I can't reach it and place it on anything. So you simply will take this and you squeeze this around the railing and it locks into place. Now the clamp may be strong, but the tile that you're clamping it to or the railing may not so it's best to use these clamps for smaller lights and also keep in mind that if you're using a light that gets hot don't place this too close to a fire sprinkler. Now don't laugh. It happens more than you think.
