G Clamp
G Clamp is a versatile clamping tool widely used in woodworking, metalworking, and laboratory applications to hold objects securely in place. Shaped like the letter “G,” it features a screw mechanism that allows adjustable pressure to firmly grip materials during assembly, welding, gluing, or testing. Made from durable cast iron or steel, G Clamps offer strong holding power and reliable stability, making them essential for precision work and safety in various industrial, construction, and laboratory settings.
