Clamp AWTools AW20137, weight 560 g, metal workshop clamp

AWTools AW20137 is a metal workshop clamp designed to hold workpieces securely during assembly, gluing, light metal work and woodworking. The clamp combines a metal construction with a steel guide rail and a lightweight design of 560 g to provide stable clamping pressure without excessive bulk. Non-marking plastic pads on the clamping jaws protect workpiece surfaces while the trigger mechanism and quick-release button enable efficient one-handed operation and fast adjustments. The tool also converts into a spreader for controlled opening tasks and is suitable for home workshops, repair work and hobby projects where reliable fixation is required.

Advantages

The clamp’s metal construction and steel guide rail deliver consistent clamping force and long service life while keeping the overall weight manageable at 560 g. Non-marking plastic pads prevent surface damage on wood, chipboard, plywood and plastics, and the trigger mechanism allows rapid single-handed application of pressure. A quick-release button accelerates repositioning, and the ability to convert the clamp into a spreader increases its versatility for both closing and opening operations.

Suitable for

• Holding and aligning parts during gluing and assembly
• Light woodworking tasks with soft and engineered wood panels
• Hobby projects and home repairs requiring temporary fixation
• Situations where one-handed clamping and fast release are needed

Key specifications

• Construction: metal body with steel guide rail
• Weight: approximately 560 g
• Jaw protection: non-marking plastic pads
• Operation: trigger mechanism for one-handed clamping
• Adjustment: quick-release button for fast repositioning
• Functionality: convertible clamp-to-spreader design
• Suitable materials: wood, chipboard, plywood, plastics

How to use

Position the AWTools AW20137 clamp so the jaws contact the workpiece surfaces at the required points. Squeeze the trigger to apply pressure until the parts are securely held, taking care not to over-tighten on delicate materials thanks to the non-marking pads. Use the quick-release button to rapidly loosen or reposition the clamp. To convert the tool into a spreader, follow the manufacturer’s conversion steps so the jaws open to apply outward force for controlled spreading tasks.

Usage recommendations

For best results, clean the guide rail periodically to prevent debris from affecting smooth movement. Inspect the plastic jaw pads for wear and replace them if they no longer protect surfaces effectively. Avoid using excessive force on brittle materials and choose clamp positions that distribute pressure evenly across the workpiece.
