Best for Small glue-upsholding work while drillingtight spaces

The tool you didn’t know you were missing until the first time you tried to glue, drill or mark something with only two hands. Squeeze the pistol grip and the jaw walks in; flick the trigger and it lets go. Four of them are enough to hold a small glue-up, pin a part to the bench while you drill, or clamp a stop block to a fence.

Pro tip Dry-fit first: set every clamp to size before you spread any glue, so you aren’t fumbling with openings while the glue starts to set.
