Clamp AWTools AW20152 — hand clamp, weight 780 g

AWTools AW20152 — hand clamp, weight 780 g is a compact hand clamp designed to secure workpieces during assembly, gluing and light woodworking tasks. The clamp combines a serrated steel, zinc-plated rail with profiled cast-iron arms and a varnished wooden handle to provide reliable holding force in a small, workshop-friendly form factor. Plastic jaw pads protect surfaces from deformation and scratches while the clamping screw with trapezoidal thread allows controlled, steady pressure.

Advantages

The design integrates a steel serrated rail to prevent slipping, cast-iron profiled arms with a durable powder coat, and a wooden handle that provides comfortable manual control. The trapezoidal-thread clamping screw gives precise adjustment and stable clamping force. Plastic jaw pads reduce the risk of damage to finished surfaces, and the overall weight of approximately 780 g keeps the clamp easy to position and handle during repetitive tasks.

Suitable for

• Gluing small panels and edge joints
• Light carpentry and finishing work
• Holding parts for drilling, riveting and mounting
• Hobby woodworking and DIY repair projects

Key specifications

• Construction materials: steel (rail), cast iron (arms), wood (handle), plastic (jaw pads)
• Rail finish: zinc plated with serration to prevent slipping
• Arm finish: powder coated cast iron
• Handle: varnished wooden handle
• Thread type: trapezoidal clamping screw
• Protective jaw pads: plastic to prevent scratches and deformation
• Weight: approximately 780 g
• Application focus: woodworking, light carpentry, assembly and finishing

How to use

Position the clamp so the serrated rail and profiled arms align with the workpiece surfaces to be secured. Turn the trapezoidal-thread clamping screw by the wooden handle to advance the jaw pads until the workpiece is held firmly without excessive force. Use the serration on the rail to prevent slippage during pressure application. For delicate or finished surfaces, ensure the plastic jaw pads are correctly seated between the clamp and the material to avoid marks. Release by turning the handle in the opposite direction and slide the clamp off once the pressure is relieved.

Usage recommendations

For best results, verify that jaw pads are clean and intact before use and avoid over-tightening to prevent compression marks on softer materials. Use the clamp for its intended light woodworking and assembly tasks; for heavy structural clamping, select a larger or higher-capacity clamp designed for heavy-duty use.
