Clamps & Vises – Essential Tools for Every Workshop

Types of clamps and their applications

G-clamps like the MACHTIG G stega SCP-15 are the most common type thanks to their simple yet durable design – ideal for securing wood, metal or plastic during cutting or drilling operations. One-handed clamps such as the DELI Jednoručna stega - štipaljka 100mm edl110004 allow quick positioning and tightening with a single hand, which is invaluable when working alone. Woodworking vises are specialized for gluing applications as they distribute pressure evenly without damaging the surface.

Choosing the right size

The clamp opening indicates the maximum thickness of material you can secure – for most home projects, clamps with 100-150mm opening are sufficient. Throat depth (how far you can reach from the material edge) is equally important – INGCO and FESTA models often exceed 80mm allowing work on larger boards. If you work with metal pipes or irregular shapes, choose clamps with rotating pads.

Material quality and construction

Professional clamps from brands like PIHER and FESTA Industry use cast iron bodies with steel spindles guaranteeing long-term durability and resistance to deformation under pressure. Cheaper alternatives often feature pressed metal bodies that may give way under loads exceeding 200kg. Rubber jaw protectors are essential when working with delicate materials – wood or lacquered surfaces require soft padding to prevent denting.

Key factors when purchasing

Clamping speed depends on thread pitch – coarser threads enable faster positioning but reduce precision for fine adjustments. Brands like EINHELL and LEVIOR offer quick-release mechanisms that save time during production runs. Always check the load capacity marked in kilograms – HARDEN and BORMANN models rated over 300kg suit professional conditions, while lighter models up to 150kg are perfectly adequate for home workshops and hobby projects.
