Our Stage Depot Double Podger is essential for lighting, audio and rigging technicians. Featuring 17 & 21mm ratchers these podgers are perfect for tightening hex head nuts and bolts on leg or scaffolding clamps, hook & quick trigger clamps or trussing.

Our Stage Depot Two-Way reversible podogers are professional heavy-duty tools designed for live events, touring and the theatrical industry. Incorporating 17 and 21 mm socket sizes, these podgers can be used for a range of different uses, from securing M10 bolts from hooks and quick-tri-clip clamps to lighting fixtures.
