Quad Podger FAQs

Can I use a Yellow Ring Podger on standard lighting hook & quick trigger clamps

Yes, our Stage Depot two-podger is perfect for this, the yellow ring version supports both an 17 & 19mm ratchet which is perfect for both M10 & M12 bolts used across a range of standard lighting hook clamps, quick trigger clamps and half couplers.

Why does the podger have a pointed end?

The tapered end on the base of the podger is perfect for this, it allows theatre crews to effortlessly align bolt holes on the underside of staging or for connecting points on truss structures. A demonstration of this can be found within our Stage Depot Podger demonstration video.

What is the difference between a Quad Podger and a Double Podger?

A double-podger features a singular ratchet head on either side of the top of the spanner, while the quad-podger features two on either side with one nested within another, allowing them to combine four of the most commonly used theatre sizes. Our Stage Depot Quad Podger is also available alongside our range of doubles.
