C-Clamp

A C-clamp is a versatile tool used in woodworking, metalworking, and other crafts. Its name comes from its shape, resembling the letter "C". Typically made of steel or cast iron, it consists of a fixed jaw and a screw-operated movable jaw. The jaws are designed to clamp onto various materials securely, holding them in place during tasks such as gluing, welding, or sawing. The screw mechanism allows for precise adjustment of the clamping pressure by turning the handle. C-clamps come in various sizes to accommodate different workpieces, from small-scale projects to heavy-duty applications. They are valued for their simplicity, durability, and effectiveness in providing strong, stable support for workpieces during fabrication or repair tasks.
