This is a very useful clamp, offering rapid deployment on simple jobs. This vice grip style locking clamp suits a wide variety of different tasks as it features a deep throat and wide jaw opening. The jaw pads swivel to allow even, parallel clamping on drilling press tables and is finished with chrome plating to resist corrosion. The handle features a knurled nut which adjusts the jaw opening and hence the applied pressure. Once adjusted, the pliers retain the setting for repetitive use. The lower handle has a quick release lever that unlocks the jaws.
