Clamp AWTools AW20140 — metal workshop clamp, weight 700 g

The AWTools AW20140 clamp is a compact metal workshop clamp weighing 700 g, designed to provide secure holding for assembly, gluing and light machining tasks. Its construction combines a steel guide rail with a durable ABS plastic body, and clamping jaws fitted with non-marking plastic pads to protect workpiece surfaces. The tool includes a trigger mechanism for one-handed operation, a quick-release button and the ability to convert from a clamp to a spreader, making it suitable for bench work, hobby projects and general DIY tasks in woodworking, metalworking and plastics handling.

Advantages

The AWTools AW20140 offers a balance of strength and portability thanks to its steel guide and lightweight 700 g design. Non-marking pads protect delicate surfaces while the trigger mechanism and quick-release button speed up repetitive clamping operations. The clamp-to-spreader conversion increases its versatility, enabling both holding and spreading functions without additional tools.

How to use

Position the AWTools AW20140 clamp so the jaws contact the workpiece at the desired clamping points, ensuring the non-marking pads face the material. Squeeze the trigger to advance the movable jaw until the workpieces are held securely; adjust pressure to avoid deforming softer materials. Press the quick-release button to rapidly release or reposition the clamp. To use as a spreader, convert the clamp according to the tool's conversion setting and apply force outward as required.

Usage recommendations

Use the AWTools AW20140 for light to medium clamping tasks; avoid applying excessive force beyond the clamp's intended range. Inspect plastic pads regularly and replace if worn to maintain surface protection. For repetitive professional applications, consider using multiple clamps to distribute pressure evenly across larger workpieces.
