Clamp AWTools AW20161 – metal assembly clamp, weight 4 kg

AWTools AW20161 – metal assembly clamp, weight 4 kg is a sturdy assembly clamp designed for securing workpieces during woodworking, metalworking and general assembly tasks. Constructed with a zinc-plated serrated steel guide rail to prevent slipping, profiled cast-iron arms with a powder-coated finish and an ergonomically shaped screwed wooden handle, this clamp offers stable holding force for aligning, gluing or fastening parts. Clamping jaws include non-marking plastic pads to protect pressed materials from damage, making the clamp suitable for jobs that demand durability and reliable clamping on-site or in the workshop.

Advantages

The clamp combines a serrated zinc-plated steel guide rail that resists slipping with robust cast-iron profiled arms finished with powder coating for corrosion resistance. An ergonomically shaped screwed wooden handle provides comfortable adjustment and improved torque, while non-marking plastic jaw pads protect surfaces from marring. With a weight of 4 kg and a design meant for longer reach, the clamp is appropriate for larger projects that require increased clamping force and stability.

Suitable for

• Securing wooden workpieces for gluing, planing and sanding
• Holding chipboard, plywood and plastic panels during assembly
• Metalworking tasks that require temporary fixation of parts
• Workshop and on-site assembly where durable clamp force is needed

Key specifications

• Material: cast iron arms, zinc-plated steel guide rail, wooden handle, plastic jaw pads
• Finish: powder-coated arms, zinc-plated rail
• Handle type: screwed wooden ergonomic handle
• Jaw protection: non-marking plastic pads
• Weight: 4 kg
• Designed application: woodworking, metalworking, general assembly

How to use

Position the clamp so the guide rail spans the workpiece and the profiled arms contact the surfaces to be held. Adjust the moving jaw by sliding along the serrated guide rail until it is close to the workpiece, then tighten using the screwed wooden handle to apply the required clamping force. Ensure the non-marking plastic pads rest against the material to prevent surface damage. Release the clamp by loosening the handle and sliding the movable jaw away from the workpiece.

Usage recommendations

For best results, clean the serrated guide rail of debris before use and avoid over-tightening to prevent compression damage to softer materials. Use multiple clamps spaced appropriately for long or wide assemblies to distribute clamping pressure evenly. Store the clamp in a dry environment to preserve the powder-coated finish and zinc plating.
