C Clamp

A C-clamp is a versatile and widely used tool in construction, woodworking, metalworking, and various other applications where securing or holding objects firmly in place is required. Named for its distinctive "C" shape, the clamp consists of a fixed jaw at one end and a screw mechanism at the other. The screw is turned to move the jaw, which tightens the clamp around the object, providing a strong and stable hold. C-clamps are typically made from durable materials like steel or cast iron, ensuring they can withstand significant pressure and repeated use. They come in various sizes to accommodate different thicknesses of materials. Commonly used to hold workpieces together during gluing, welding, or cutting, C-clamps are also employed in scenarios where a temporary yet secure hold is needed. Their simplicity, strength, and reliability make them an essential tool in any workshop or toolbox. Proper use involves selecting the appropriate size and tightening the clamp just enough to hold the material securely without causing damage.
