Product Information
Full details
The BlueSpot 150mm Ratchet Speed Clamp & Spreader is a versatile tool designed for DIY enthusiasts and professionals in woodworking and metalworking who need reliable, adjustable clamping pressure. Its primary benefit is the quick-switch functionality that allows users to toggle between clamping and spreading, though users should note it is limited to a maximum clamping pressure of 50KG, making it unsuitable for heavy-duty structural fabrication.

FAQs
Can I use these for metalworking?
Yes, they are suitable for metalwork, provided the application does not exceed the 50KG clamping force limit.
Are the pads removable?
The non-marring pads are designed to stay in place, but they can be removed if they become damaged.
What is the maximum capacity of the clamp?
The clamp has a 150mm (6-inch) reach.
Do I need any tools to switch to spreader mode?
No, the jaw can be removed and reversed manually using the quick-release mechanism.
How many clamps are included in the package?
This product comes as a 2-pack.
Troubleshooting
The jaw is not sliding smoothly along the bar.
Clean the steel bar thoroughly to remove debris and apply a tiny amount of dry lubricant.
The clamp loses grip under pressure.
Check the ratchet teeth for damage or debris. If clear, ensure you are not exceeding the 50KG pressure limit.
Jaw stuck during reversal.
Ensure the release trigger is fully depressed and held while sliding the jaw off the end of the bar.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Lightweight yet durable construction

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your clamps, keep the steel bar free from heavy buildup of wood dust or metal shavings, as these can interfere with the ratchet mechanism. No formal setup is required, but it is recommended to wipe the bar with a light machine oil occasionally to keep the sliding motion smooth. Store these clamps in a dry environment and avoid using excessive force beyond the 50KG rating to prevent potential bending of the bar or shearing of the plastic ratcheting teeth.
