C-Clamps & G-Clamps: Versatile One-Handed Holding
The C-clamp (or G-clamp in some regions) is the workhorse of the workshop. Cast iron, malleable iron, and quick-release versions let you lock down work across a huge range of thicknesses and angles. AIMS stocks Strong Hand and other trusted brands in multiple sizes.
Types We Stock
- Cast iron C-clamps: Rigid, reliable, heavy-duty
- Malleable iron G-clamps: Lightweight, still robust, easy to move between jobs
- Quick-release levers: One-handed opening and closing—massive time saver
- Sizes from small to large: Throat depths from shallow to deep, opening capacities up to 200 mm+
Why Strong Hand?
Strong Hand Engineering are known for smooth screw action and reliable locking. Their clamps won't slip or creep, and the jaws stay parallel under load.
What to Consider
Throat depth (how far the clamp reaches from the edge of your work), opening capacity (the widest gap it can span), and screw pitch (how fast you can tighten). AIMS staff can help match your job to the right clamp.
