Standard screw clamps are slow to adjust and can easily crush or scuff delicate finished wood surfaces under pressure. The Irwin Quick-Grip 300mm (12in) Quick-Change Bar Clamp Twin Pack delivers effortless one-handed clamping power combined with rapid jobsite versatility. Constructed with high-tensile steel bars and impact-resistant ABS jaws, each clamp features a smooth single-handed trigger mechanism for fast positioning and a tool-free quick-change head that converts the clamp into a powerful spreader in seconds without extra tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSingle-Handed Quick-Trigger Operation\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHolding parts aligned while tightening two-handed screw clamps leads to misaligned joints and slipping glue lines.
