Overview

Woodworkers who glue up tapered legs or odd shapes get a classic handscrew with offset hardwood jaws that can be angled to match the work. Steel screws set the grip, and wood handles give purchase when tightening.

Grip on irregular shapes is the reason to buy, since the jaws can close at an angle where bar clamps slip. Hardwood faces are gentle on finished stock. The limit is that the listing gives no jaw opening or throat depth, so capacity is unknown.

Who it's for

Furniture makers, carvers and hobby woodworkers holding small or angled parts get a traditional clamp that adapts to the work. Cabinetmakers gluing wide panels will need bar or pipe clamps.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Offset jaws hold angled work
  • Hardwood faces protect workpieces
  • Steel screws for clamping force
  • Works with woodworking vises
Cons
  • Jaw opening not listed
  • Short reach for wide panels
  • Two screws take time to set
  • Single clamp only

Performance notes

Holding power comes from the two screws, which let the jaws close parallel or at an angle to match the part. Wood jaws spread pressure and avoid marring, though they offer less bite than metal pads. Setting both screws evenly is what stops the jaws slipping.
