C-clamps, also known as G-clamps, are designed to hold wood or metal workpieces together. C-clamps are often used in carpentry or metalworking and get their name from the shape of their frame. They are equipped with a large screw or rod component that allows you to customize the tension with which you’re holding your workpieces together by turning it. The most popular options are steel C-clamps or cast iron C-clamps. At Zoro, we offer heavy duty C-clamps from the most popular brands including Wilton, Kant-Twist, Bessey Tools, Proto, Westward and more. Enjoy shopping at Zoro for all the tools you need for your shop at everyday low prices.

What Do People Use C-Clamps For?

C-clamps are often used in woodworking and are great for holding workpieces together while glue dries. Make sure to insert a buffer between the wood and clamp so as not to damage the wood, if applicable. Carpenters also use C-clamps to hold pieces of wood for cutting. In addition, welders may use C-clamps as an extra set of hands that can hold a metal piece as it’s being worked on. Mechanics also use clamps to hold workpieces together as they work.
