Easy Clamps

One handed clamp that works through a ratchet handle similar to a caulking gun.

Bessey EZS Clamp from Rockler.

Well; I have a confession to make. After 50 years in the building and construction game I have never used one of these clamps! I have seen many in various joinery shops that I have visited in recent times and I have seen plenty of them in young tradies tool kits, and the all swore by them. Unfortunately they were not available here in Australia when I could have used them with a vengeance.

And I most certainly would have used them.

I can think back to dozens of times that I have struggled (usually on a scaffold or a ladder) to hold something in place and at the same time fix

The fact that these can be operated by one hand, while holding the material in the other is a complete winner.

These Bessey clamps come in five sizes from 6" to 36"

If you live in the US and you like the look of it find out more on the Rockler site page.

Irwin Quick-Grip SL300 Clamps from Rockler.

These Irwin clamps come in four sizes from 6" to 24". I am not sure where I read this but I think Irwin were the first to make the clamps

Once again, check out these Irwin clamps here on the Rockler site page.
