The present invention provides a multi-purpose, snap-clamp system capable of releasably holding objects of medium weight. The system is one piece and injection molded of polypropylene or similar plastic. The system, which includes a resilient spring member having two end portions, two interconnected by a film-hinge control levers each connected to one of the end portions by a film-hinge, and at least one gripping member connected at one of the end portions to one of the control levers and capable of being detachably connected to the other end portion, includes two resilient mounting legs connected at one of their ends to the end portion of the spring member and at the other of their ends to a mounting base, which in turn is mounted to a surface such as a wall. The gripping member along with the two control levers are movable between open and closed positions wherein the closed position the gripping member and the two control levers form a gripping cavity adapted to hold an object. The leg members are adapted to absorb bending stresses to allow the system to hold objects of medium size and weight such as a hammer, or greater size and weight.
