In daily use

Whether you're gluing up a cabinet, holding metal parts for welding, or spreading a joint for repair, this clamp delivers consistent pressure. The 95 mm throat depth accommodates thicker workpieces, while the high-tech resin jaws grip firmly without scratching. The quick-release trigger allows you to slide the jaw along the bar with one hand, leaving your other hand free to position the workpiece. When you need to reverse the force, simply remove the jaw, flip it around, and reattach—no extra parts required.
