They come in two sizes - the mini and the maxi (which can hold a load of 100kg) and are available in black and white in bags of 10s or 20s. Charles Haines, Halls’ managing director, said: "After years of making what felt like thousands of cyc stretchers and drape clamps out of 3 x 1 and sash cord in my days as a stage carpenter, I always thought there had to be a better way. There never seemed to be any left after a get-out and we had a ‘scraps box’ in the workshop - just for making replacements. Well, now we’ve got a better way - easy, cheap and pain-free. We’ve had them here for a couple of weeks and have found loads of uses for the little beggars - rigging temporary banners and screens, putting up temporary masking or quick change areas, paging drapes."
Hold-Ons are available from Hall Stage stockists around the Country.
