Clamping tool AWTools AW20136 — clamp, weight 520 g

The AWTools AW20136 clamp is a handheld clamping tool weighing 520 g, designed to secure, hold or fasten materials during assembly, repair or carpentry tasks. The body is made of durable ABS plastic with a steel guide rail for stable alignment. Clamping jaws have non-marking plastic pads to protect workpiece surfaces. A trigger mechanism allows one-handed operation, while a quick-release button and the ability to convert from clamp to spreader increase flexibility for temporary fixing and positioning of materials.

Advantages

The compact construction combines a lightweight ABS body with a steel guide rail to ensure reliable grip without adding excessive weight. Non-marking plastic pads on the jaws protect finished surfaces from scratches and dents. One-handed trigger operation and a quick-release button permit fast adjustment and release, and the clamp-to-spreader conversion expands the range of possible uses in DIY, workshop and light professional tasks.

Suitable for

• Holding and aligning wooden parts during gluing and assembly
• Securing chipboard or plywood panels for cutting or drilling
• Temporary fastening of plastic components during repair
• Small carpentry and furniture repair tasks requiring light clamping force

Key specifications

• Weight: 520 g
• Body material: ABS plastic
• Guide rail material: steel
• Jaw pads: non-marking plastic
• Operation: one-handed trigger mechanism
• Features: quick-release button, converts to spreader

How to use

Position the clamp so the jaws contact the parts to be held. Squeeze the trigger until the desired clamping force is reached; the non-marking pads will protect the surface. Use the quick-release button to loosen the clamp when work is complete or to reposition the workpiece. To use as a spreader, convert the clamp according to the built-in mechanism and place the jaws against the areas to be separated. Ensure the clamp is seated squarely on the workpiece and avoid over-tightening that could damage thin materials.

Usage recommendations

Use the AWTools AW20136 for light to medium-duty clamping tasks on wood, chipboard, plywood and plastics; avoid using it for heavy structural clamping. Keep the guide rail clean and periodically check the jaw pads for wear. For improved protection of delicate surfaces, add thin protective tape between the pad and the workpiece.
