Turn the knob to adjust the opening size.

Self-Adjusting Locking Plier Clamps

Squeeze the handles and the jaws will automatically adjust to fit your workpiece.

Bar-Style Locking Plier Clamps

Slide the upper jaw to adjust the opening size. These clamps hold larger workpieces than other locking plier clamps of similar size.

Locking Plier Clamps for Sheets

Press the lever down to lock these clamps, which fit in tight spaces and hold thin materials.

Right-Angle Locking Plier Clamps for Sheets

Angled jaws clamp sheets, bars, and U-channels at 90°.

Extended-Reach Plastic Plier Clamps

The long, pivoting jaws let you clamp farther into your workpiece and in tight spots.

Plastic Plier Clamps

Use these tools for light duty clamping. Squeeze the handles to open; release to close.

Pliers-Style Toggle Clamps

For repetitive clamping, turn the holding screw to adjust the opening size one time, and then use the handles to secure and release workpieces.

Clothespins and Spring Clips

Hold lightweight objects, secure covers, and seal bags.

Pliers-Activated Spring Clamps

Clamp thin sheet material together without drilling holes. These clamps open with special pliers and spring closed when the pliers are released.

Pliers-Activated Spring Clamp Sets

Set includes 12 clamps and the installation pliers required for positioning and removal.

Bar Clamps
