C-clamps

Structure: Comprised of a frame, a threaded screw, a handle (tommy bar), and a swivel pad (anvil) to protect materials. Best Uses: Ideal for welding, metalworking, and holding large or heavy items together. Material: Usually made of forged steel or cast iron for durability. Usage Tips: Use scrap wood between the clamp pad and delicate workpieces to prevent surface damage. Alternatives: C-clamp locking pliers exist for quick-release, portable clamping needs.
