Picture this: you're in the middle of gluing up a chair frame, and your clamp just won't hold that tricky angle without denting the wood. Frustrating, right? Enter the Jorgensen 10-Inch Handscrew Clamp—a reliable workshop staple that actually adapts to your project instead of fighting it.
These clamps stand out because their jaws pivot independently, letting you adjust the angle to hug irregular contours perfectly. Crafted from seasoned hard maple—straight-grained and hand-inspected—they deliver a firm hold without marring finishes. No more white rings or scratches on your carefully planed surfaces. The jaws even overlap if needed, concentrating force on small areas for those finicky joints.
Don't let the classic wooden look fool you. The spindles and nuts are cold-drawn steel with double-lead threads, machined for smooth, fast adjustments and unbeatable strength. Turn the handle, and it tightens down solidly; loosen it, and it releases effortlessly. Comfortable handles mean you won't cramp up during long sessions, whether you're clamping stair treads or boat parts.
Woodworkers swear by these for furniture builds—they keep panels flat during glue-ups, preventing bows or gaps. Luthiers use them for guitar necks, modelers for precise patterns. I've clamped everything from cabinet doors to airplane models, and they never slip. Pair a few together for even pressure across wide boards, or use solo for spot clamping. At 10 inches, they're the sweet spot—not too bulky, but capable for most home shop tasks.
Backed by Jorgensen's reputation, this clamp feels like an extension of your hands. Grab one (or a set), and watch your project accuracy soar. No hype, just solid performance that earns its spot on your bench.
