Clamp AWTools AW20154 — bench/utility clamp, metal construction, 1 kg

AWTools AW20154 — bench/utility clamp is a compact metal clamp designed to hold workpieces securely during assembly, cutting or gluing. The clamp combines a serrated, zinc-plated steel guide rail with profiled cast-iron arms and an ergonomically shaped screwed wooden handle to provide steady grip and simple adjustment for light workshop tasks and hobby projects. Non-marking plastic pads on the clamping jaws protect pressed materials from damage while the powder-coated finish increases surface durability.

Advantages

The serrated zinc-plated guide rail prevents slipping and ensures reliable position retention under load. Profiled cast-iron arms provide rigidity and a stable clamping surface, while the powder-coated finish resists corrosion and wear in typical workshop environments. The ergonomically shaped wooden handle allows comfortable tightening and adjustment, and non-marking plastic pads protect sensitive surfaces such as wood, chipboard, plywood or plastics. With a compact design and a product weight of 1 kg, the clamp is easy to position and reposition for general-purpose clamping tasks.

Suitable for

• Light woodworking: assembly, gluing and holding panels
• Hobby and DIY projects requiring steady grip and simple adjustment
• Holding chipboard, plywood, laminated boards and plastic parts
• Situations requiring a longer reach and higher clamping force for larger workpieces

How to use

Position the clamp so the fixed jaw contacts the stationary part of the workpiece and the adjustable jaw aligns with the area to be held. Turn the screwed wooden handle clockwise to advance the adjustable jaw along the serrated guide rail until the workpiece is held firmly between the jaws. Use even pressure when tightening to avoid compressing or distorting the material; the non-marking plastic pads reduce the risk of surface damage. To release, turn the handle counterclockwise and slide the adjustable jaw back along the guide rail.

Usage recommendations

For best results, ensure the clamping surfaces and pads are clean and free of debris before use. Avoid overtightening on thin or fragile materials; use multiple clamps distributed along the workpiece for even pressure when working with larger panels. Store the clamp in a dry place to protect the powder-coated finish and zinc-plated rail from corrosion.
