This set of Alphaclamps is an exploration of tools and their form. From the I-beam to the C-clamp, the latin letterforms seem to have a chicken-egg relationship with the letter-shaped tools that bear their name. Is the C the basis for design, or simply a descriptor of the form? Curious about how the other letters would work as tools, I set out to explore the mechanical utility of the forsaken letters of our alphabet.

By far the most used “Letter Tool” I have in my inventory is the F-Bomb. though lately, with what goes on in Ferguson, the N-bomb is seeing some use.
