The result is one-handed clamping in seconds instead of cranking a screw clamp. For fabrication, woodworking, gluing, and any application where you need to clamp work fast and free a hand for other tasks, quick release clamps are the right tool.

Common workshop sizes run 150mm, 300mm, 600mm, 900mm, and 1200mm. Most workshops carry a mix — small clamps for detail work, larger clamps for bigger glue-ups and assemblies. A useful starting kit covers two each of three sizes; expand based on the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eClamping force\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuick release clamps deliver less clamping force than equivalent screw clamps — the trade-off for the speed of operation. Typical workshop bar clamps deliver 100-200kg of clamping force; heavy-duty versions reach 400kg+. For delicate work, that's plenty; for heavy structural glue-ups, multiple clamps or the addition of dedicated screw clamps may be needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eJaw protection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost quick release clamp jaws have rubber or plastic jaw pads to prevent marking the workpiece. The pads wear over time and should be replaced when they're damaged or no longer protect the work. For finish-critical applications, additional pad covers (cork, rubber, or felt) provide extra protection on critical surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBrands stocked at AIMS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe quick release clamp range covers trade-grade brands chosen for build quality and reliable trigger mechanisms. Cheap unbranded clamps often have triggers that wear out or jaws that slip under load — false economy for daily-use clamps.

Wipe down after gluing work (dried glue locks the trigger mechanism), keep them out of the bottom of the toolbox where bar surfaces get damaged, and replace worn jaw pads rather than working without them. Trigger mechanisms occasionally need lubrication; a drop of light machine oil keeps them smooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNeed help speccing a clamp set for a workshop or specific project? \u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003econtact our team\u003c\/a\u003e — we'll match by size mix, force requirement, and budget.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"lockjaw-l1120150-one-hand-dual-clamp-150-mm","title":"Lockjaw L1120150 One Hand Dual Clamp 150 mm","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"max-width:680px;width:100%;padding:12px 0;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;align-items:flex-start;justify-content:space-between;border-top:1px solid #e0e0e0;border-bottom:1px solid #e0e0e0;padding:16px 0;margin-bottom:24px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1;padding:0 12px;text-align:center;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size:24px;color:#333;margin-bottom:6px;line-height:1;\"\u003e◆\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size:14px;font-weight:500;color:#333;line-height:1.4;\"\u003eOne Hand Bar Clamp\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1;padding:0 12px;text-align:center;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size:24px;color:#333;margin-bottom:6px;line-height:1;\"\u003e●\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size:14px;font-weight:500;color:#333;line-height:1.4;\"\u003e150mm Jaw Width\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1;padding:0 12px;text-align:center;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size:24px;color:#333;margin-bottom:6px;line-height:1;\"\u003e▲\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size:14px;font-weight:500;color:#333;line-height:1.4;\"\u003eWorkshop ready\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:14px;line-height:1.6;color:#444;margin:0;\"\u003eA mm Lockjaw one-hand bar clamp, suited to quick light clamping in joinery, laminating and panel work.
