Bar clamp IRWIN 10505946 90 cm — parallel bar clamp for woodworking and assembly

Bar clamp IRWIN 10505946 90 cm is a parallel bar clamp designed for woodworking and assembly tasks where even clamping pressure and accurate alignment are required. The tool combines a long steel bar with an adjustable sliding jaw and a fixed head to provide stable fixation of boards, panels and frames during gluing, drilling and fitting operations. The clamp's construction supports repeated use in carpentry, DIY and furniture repair applications.

Advantages

The clamp delivers parallel clamping action that minimizes twisting and ensures uniform pressure across the workpiece. Its long steel bar offers reach for larger assemblies while the adjustable jaw locks securely in place to maintain set pressure. The ergonomic handle allows controlled tightening without excessive effort, and the robust build provides durability for workshop or site use.

Suitable for

• Gluing and edge-joining panels and boards
• Frame assembly and squaring
• Carpentry and joinery tasks
• DIY repairs and furniture maintenance
• Clamping workpieces for drilling or routing

Key specifications

• Clamping capacity: 90 cm jaw span
• Parallel clamping mechanism for uniform pressure
• Steel bar for rigidity and straightness
• Adjustable sliding jaw with positive lock
• Ergonomic handle for controlled tightening
• Protective jaw faces to reduce marring of workpieces

How to use

Position the fixed head against one end of the workpiece and slide the adjustable jaw along the bar until it contacts the opposite side. Use the positive lock to set the jaw near the workpiece, then tighten the handle to apply the required clamping pressure while keeping the assembly square. For gluing, apply clamps at regular intervals and avoid overtightening to prevent squeeze-out and deformation. Release the clamp by disengaging the lock and backing off the handle.

Usage recommendations

Use protective pads or the clamp's jaw faces when working with finished or soft surfaces to prevent damage. Apply even pressure across multiple clamps for longer joints and allow sufficient curing time for adhesives before removing clamps. Store the clamp in a dry environment to prevent corrosion of the steel bar.
