Workbench Clamp Dedra 155x72 mm, nylon handle, A3 steel bar, pistol-style

The Dedra pistol-style workbench clamp with a clamping capacity of 155x72 mm is a manually operated hold-down tool designed to secure workpieces during woodworking, cabinetmaking and general workshop tasks. It combines an A3 steel bar for structural rigidity and long-term durability with a nylon handle shaped for comfortable one-handed operation. The clamp is intended for temporary fastening during gluing, drilling, cutting and assembly where firm, repeatable pressure is required.

Advantages

The A3 steel bar provides high stiffness and resistance to bending under load, helping maintain parallelism between the jaws during clamping. The nylon handle reduces operator fatigue and offers a non-slip grip for controlled tightening. The pistol-style trigger mechanism enables quick single-handed adjustment and release, simplifying repetitive tasks. The jaw faces are sized to cover moderate surface areas and the overall dimensions suit both hobby and professional bench setups.

Suitable for

• Holding boards and panels during gluing and assembly
• Securing workpieces for drilling and routing
• Temporary clamping for cutting and sanding operations
• General-purpose workshop and DIY tasks

Key specifications

• Clamping capacity: 155 x 72 mm (jaw opening x jaw width)
• Bar material: A3 grade steel for improved rigidity
• Handle material: ergonomic nylon for grip and comfort
• Operation: pistol-style trigger for one-handed adjustment
• Jaw face type: flat faces suitable for panel and board surfaces
• Use: manual, no power required

How to use

Position the clamp so the fixed jaw contacts one side of the workpiece and the sliding jaw aligns with the opposite side. Squeeze the pistol-style nylon handle to advance the sliding jaw until the workpiece is held firmly between the jaws. Adjust pressure gradually to avoid damaging softer materials; release by engaging the quick-release lever or changing the trigger position according to the clamp mechanism. For wider pieces, open the jaws fully, reposition the bar and re-clamp as needed.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the clamp and bar before each use for signs of wear or damage. Use protective pads when clamping finished surfaces to prevent marking. Apply only the pressure necessary to hold the workpiece; over-tightening can deform thin materials. Store the clamp in a dry environment to reduce corrosion risk to the steel bar.
