How to choose clamps and a bench vise — 2026–2027
Without clamps it is hard to glue, drill or weld accurately. A good clamp holds the part in place so both hands are free for the tool.
Types of clamps
An F-clamp (screw clamp) clamps hard and suits wood and metal. A quick-grip clamp closes with a trigger in one hand. A corner clamp holds parts at 90°, and pipe and bar clamps pull long panels together.
Opening and depth
The opening shows how thick a part will fit, the depth how far from the edge the clamp presses. Take a clamp a little larger than your thickest part.
How many clamps
Gluing a long part needs several identical clamps every 20–30 cm. Soft pads keep marks off the wood.
Bench vise
Choose a vise by the jaw width (100–150 mm is all-round) and the mounting: screwed to the bench or on a swivel base. Cast-iron and steel vises stand up to a hammer and heavy work.
