A landspeeder using magnetic clamps

A magnetic clamp was a piece of technology used to magnetically adhere non-magnetic objects to a metallic surface. Also known as magclamps, they were designed to tow stationary wrecks back to dock for repairs. They were big, clunky, and bad for precision work. Jedi Vectors were equipped with four magclamps that would fire cable lines to magnetically latch onto the starship or other object to tow. It could be rigged with Egarian silk or duralloy cabling.[1]

History

A trio of royal guards stationed aboard the Chimaera utilized modified Force pikes with magnetic clamps to subdue Ezra Bridger. Their weapons emitted a yellow field capable of lifting and immobilizing Ezra, albeit it took all three pikes to subdue him, something he took advantage of when he hurled several boulders and rocks from a stolen piece of the Lothal Jedi Temple at his attackers to disrupt them.[2] The boots of Darth Vader's armor featured magnetic clamps, which were utilized during his raid on Cylo's research base, when he breached a section of its hull, blowing the surrounding crew out into the vacuum of space.[3]
