With a maximum jaw opening of 12", a throat depth of 2-7/16", and a clamping force of 140 lbs, this clamp is ideal for holding materials securely in place during woodworking, metalworking, and other projects. The clamp features a squeeze pistol grip for micro-adjusting the clamp, a quick-release trigger that allows the bar to slide into position and to unlock, a reinforced resin body and hardened steel bar, and non-marring soft pliable pads to protect materials. The clamp is constructed of high-tech reinforced resin for strength and durability, and is 25% smaller than traditional bar clamps, making it ideal for working in confined spaces.
