Abstract: An improved clamping device which includes at least one tether insert allowing additional objects or items to be coupled to the clamping device without having to change the physical location of the clamping device itself. The tether insert is selectively coupled to the clamping device and may be quickly detached by pulling the tether insert away from the clamping device. The clamping device also includes a magnet to assist the tether insert in obtaining a proper seat when brought into close proximity to a handle of the clamping device. The tether insert also comprises a bridge which interacts with a tether, either by wrapping or tying the tether to the bridge, or by coupling a clip or other coupling means disposed on the tether to the bridge. The removal of the tether insert does not require the actuation of the clamping device or the object it is being applied to.
