Swan Vacuum Clamping
Swan Vacuum Clamping and DeWALT GRABO Lifters
This vacuum clamping collection mixes two brands. Swan supplies the workholding side: VacQ starter and complete kits, the VacQube 12V vacuum pump with RF remote, VacQpods, the VacQparing pod, a VacQport bench port, the VacQswitch double release, Vac Pucs, the Vac-Plate for Grabo, and replacement seals. DeWALT supplies the 20V MAX GRABO lifter as a tool-only unit, a 2-pack, and kits with a 2.0Ah, POWERSTACK, or two 5.0Ah batteries, plus DZE591 replacement seals.
What to Look For
- Vacuum source. The VacQ system runs off the VacQube pump. The Vac-Plate for Grabo and the plate and puc kit run off a GRABO lifter.
- Part size. Pods and pucs hold small or thin parts. The Vac-Plate gives a wider holding surface.
- Battery platform. GRABO lifters use DeWALT 20V MAX batteries. Buy tool-only if you own them.
- Seals. Keep spare Vac Puc and GRABO seals, since a worn seal loses holding power.
Shop vacuum clamping at The Tool Nut, an authorized dealer since 1994, with free shipping on most orders and rewards points on every purchase.
Swan Vacuum Clamping FAQ
Can a GRABO lifter power Swan vacuum clamps?
Yes. The Vac-Plate for Grabo and the Vac Plate and Vac Pucs kit use a DeWALT GRABO lifter as the vacuum source, turning it into a bench clamp for routing and sanding.
How do the VacQ kits work?
Both are built around the VacQ system, which uses the VacQube 12V pump with RF remote as its vacuum source. The starter and complete kits differ in what they bundle, so check each listing for exact contents before ordering.
