Bar Clamp DeWalt DWHT0-83140 — single-piece clamping tool for woodworking and assembly

DeWalt DWHT0-83140 is a single-piece bar clamp engineered for holding workpieces during woodworking, assembly and repair tasks. The clamp features a reinforced nylon body for strength and durability and a quick-change button that converts the tool into a spreader. Supplied as one unit per pack, this compact manual clamp supports positioning and securing materials while cutting, gluing or fastening, and is designed for one-handed operation to speed up repetitive tasks.

Advantages

The reinforced nylon construction provides high rigidity with reduced weight, improving handling during prolonged use. A quick-change button makes it simple to switch between clamping and spreading modes without extra tools. One-handed operation allows fast adjustment and release, increasing efficiency when working alone or holding parts in position during assembly. The single-piece design reduces moving parts and maintenance needs while offering a stable grip on a variety of materials.

Suitable for

• Holding wooden panels and boards during cutting or sanding
• Clamping workpieces for gluing and adhesive cures
• Securing parts during assembly or light repair
• Acting as a spreader to open joints or fixtures
• Hobbyist and small workshop tasks requiring a compact clamp

Key specifications

• Construction: reinforced nylon body for improved strength and reduced weight
• Operation: one-handed quick-adjust mechanism for fast clamping and release
• Functionality: quick-change button allows conversion from clamp to spreader
• Configuration: single-piece bar clamp supplied as one unit per pack
• Intended use: manual clamping for woodworking, assembly and light repair tasks

How to use

Place the fixed jaw against one side of the workpiece and slide the movable jaw until it contacts the opposite side. Use the one-handed quick-adjust mechanism to tighten the clamp until the workpieces are held firmly but without over-torquing. Press the quick-change button to switch the tool to spreader mode when you need to separate parts or open a joint. To release the clamp, use the release lever or button and withdraw the movable jaw.

Usage recommendations

For best results, protect finished surfaces with thin pads or scrap wood to avoid marking. Apply steady, even pressure rather than excessive force; the nylon body is durable but designed for light to medium clamping tasks. Regularly inspect the jaws and mechanism for wear and keep the quick-change button free of debris to ensure smooth operation.
