Clamp thin materials and in tight spaces. Squeeze the handles to open the clamp; release and the spring holds it tightly in place. Clamps with a hole on the end can be secured to your workholder’s arm, so your hands are free for soldering, gluing, and assembling.

Style F, G, H, J, and L clamps have a long bottom jaw for supporting large material or thin sheets and bars.

Stainless steel clamps resist high temperatures, so you can use them as a heat sink. These clamps are good for soldering because solder won’t stick to them. 17-7 PH stainless steel clamps have a 700° F maximum temperature for use in electroplating applications.

Clamps with a plain grip have an all-metal construction that makes them good for holding parts while soldering.
