Less Work. More Clams.

Don’t Break Your Back Use The Clam Vac
A Game-Changing Clam Gun for an Easier Clamming Experiance
Digging for razor clams using a clam gun is a fun activity all ages can enjoy. The traditional clam gun made of steel or a PVC tube is unwieldy and inefficient. Using them can turn a relaxing recreational activity into a back-breaking ordeal. Get clams out of the sand faster and easier with Clam Vac, our amazing hybrid clam gun.
We have over 10 years of clamming experience. With our in-depth knowledge of clam guns, we know what is needed to improve the traditional design and create a tool that anyone can easily use.

Avoid Back Strain
We named our device Clam Vac because it brings up the razor clams, not the beach. It is lightweight and designed to be gentle on your back. Even people with back issues can use our device without a problem. Our new models are very light, ranging from 3 lbs. for the 30” model to 3.5 lbs. for the 36” model.
Built to Last
Clam Vac is handcrafted in the USA and designed to last for many years of clam digging. We construct our Clam Vacs using a sturdy 5” aluminum barrel with an attached suction release vent tube.
Clam Guns for All Heights
Clam Vac is available in 4 comfortable operating heights but can be customized to your specifications. A 30” model is now available for vertically challenged individuals or kids that need a quality gun that fits their height well.
Have fun harvesting clams on the Oregon Coast, one of the most beautiful and bountiful places to go clamming.
The owner’s better half caught the two biggest clams of the day after they both reached the limit in just over an hour. This was how it all began.

New year, new ideas
This year in June we will celebrate our 12th year of building the Clam Vac. We are always thinking of what we can do to improve our product. Some changes will come out this year, all for the good.
Our stores have changed a bit too. When selecting the Shop now button above, it will take you to 3 stores. The 1st is a new feature that allows you to pre pay for a Clam Vac for picking up at our shop without adding the shipping charge(s). It works great for those that are out of town but have friends or relatives in the area that can pick them up. It also works great as a tool to reserve that must have size/color combination for pick up here. Prior to using this feature, just call ahead to confirm product availability. The 2nd is a Closeout specials store. Here you'll find discounts on brand new Clam Vac's that are just some older inventory that needs to make room for the new latest versions. The 3rd is the main store. Here is the full inventory with all available size/color combinations. Have any questions?
Just call or text me. 503-758-6567 Chuck
The owner took his dad out for his first clamming experience with the 1st edition Clam Vac's on the 4th of July 2013. He got his limit without having to bend over and chase them. The Clam Vac did its job with excellent results!
