Clamp AWTools AW20151 — metal workshop clamp, weight 720 g

AWTools AW20151 — metal workshop clamp, weight 720 g is a compact hand clamp designed to hold and secure workpieces during assembly, gluing or light machining. Constructed with a zinc-plated, serrated steel guide rail and profiled cast iron arms with a powder-coated finish, the clamp combines slip resistance and structural rigidity in a lightweight package. An ergonomically shaped screwed wooden handle provides comfortable adjustment, while non-marking plastic pads on the clamping jaws protect finished surfaces. The clamp is intended for temporary, stable fixation of materials such as wood, chipboard, plywood and plastics and is suitable for small-scale woodworking, DIY repairs and light metalworking.

Advantages

The serrated, zinc-plated steel guide rail reduces slippage and ensures reliable positioning under load. Profiled cast iron arms deliver strength and dimensional stability while the powder-coated surface resists corrosion and everyday wear. The screwed wooden handle is shaped for ergonomic grip and precise adjustment. Non-marking plastic pads on the jaws prevent surface damage to workpieces and improve contact distribution. Overall, the clamp offers a balance of reach, clamping force and portability for manual tasks.

Suitable for

• Holding and gluing wooden panels and assemblies
• Temporary fixation during light machining or sanding
• DIY repairs and home workshop projects
• Clamping chipboard, plywood and plastic components
• Applications requiring longer reach and moderate clamping force

Key specifications

• Weight: 720 g
• Guide rail: steel, zinc plated, serrated to prevent slipping
• Arms: profiled cast iron with powder-coated finish
• Handle: screwed wooden, ergonomically shaped
• Jaw protection: non-marking plastic pads
• Typical materials: wood, chipboard, plywood, plastics

How to use

Place the clamp so the fixed jaw bears against one side of the workpiece and slide the movable jaw along the serrated guide rail until it contacts the opposite side. Use the screwed wooden handle to turn and apply clamping force until the workpiece is held securely but not excessively compressed. Ensure the non-marking plastic pads are positioned against finished surfaces to avoid marking. Release the clamp by reversing the handle rotation and sliding the movable jaw away from the workpiece.

Usage recommendations

For best results, inspect the serrated guide rail and jaw pads for debris before use and clean as needed. Use multiple clamps spaced evenly for larger panels to distribute pressure uniformly. Avoid applying extreme force beyond manual capability to prevent damage to the clamp or workpiece. Store in a dry place to maintain the powder-coated finish and zinc plating.
