IRWIN QUICK-GRIP XP T536QCEL7 One-Handed Bar Clamp/Spreader 91 cm Black, Blue, Yellow

On a busy jobsite, a cabinetmaker needs to hold a face frame tight while the glue sets—one hand on the workpiece, the other reaching for a clamp. The IRWIN QUICK-GRIP XP T536QCEL7 locks on with a squeeze and holds firm at up to 272 kg of force, freeing both hands for the next task. Its 91 cm capacity and quick-release trigger make it the go-to for everything from panel glue-ups to light spreading.
