Clamp AWTools AW20139 — metal fastening clamp, weight 660 g

AWTools AW20139 — metal fastening clamp, weight 660 g is a compact clamp designed for holding and securing workpieces during woodworking, assembly and gluing operations. The tool combines a steel guide rail with a body made of durable ABS plastic and non-marking plastic pads on the clamping jaws to protect workpiece surfaces. A trigger mechanism enables one-handed operation, while a quick-release button and the ability to convert the tool from a clamp to a spreader add versatility for temporary fastening and precise alignment.

Advantages

The clamp delivers a firm clamping force with stable positioning while remaining lightweight at 660 g, making it suitable for extended use without excessive fatigue. Non-marking plastic pads prevent surface damage to wood, chipboard, plywood and plastics. One-handed trigger control and a quick-release button allow fast adjustments and efficient workflow. The combination of an ABS plastic body and a steel guide rail provides a balance of durability and manageable weight.

Suitable for

• Holding and securing wooden workpieces during glue-ups
• Temporary fastening during assembly or fitting of components
• Clamping chipboard, plywood or plastic panels for routing or cutting
• Positioning small parts for sanding, drilling or fastening

Key specifications

• Overall weight: 660 g
• Body material: ABS plastic
• Guide rail: steel
• Clamping jaws with non-marking plastic pads
• Operation: one-handed trigger mechanism
• Quick-release button for rapid adjustment
• Convertible function: clamp and spreader modes
• Recommended materials: wood, chipboard, plywood, plastics

How to use

Place the clamp so the jaws contact the surfaces to be secured, then squeeze the trigger to advance the movable jaw until the desired clamping pressure is reached. The non-marking pads should be positioned against the workpiece surfaces to avoid marring. Use the quick-release button to rapidly open or reposition the clamp. To use as a spreader, reverse or set the tool according to the converter function so it applies pressure outward as required for the task.

Usage recommendations

Use the AWTools AW20139 on clean, dry surfaces and check pad placement before applying full pressure. For delicate finishes, place additional protective material between the pad and the workpiece. Do not exceed the clamp’s intended use for heavy structural work; use multiple clamps for larger assemblies to distribute force evenly. Store in a dry place to prevent corrosion of the steel guide rail.
