Product Information
Full details
The Workpro Quick Release Clamp (300mm) is designed for woodworking enthusiasts and professional builders who require a versatile and reliable clamping solution for assembly, gluing, and manufacturing projects. With its innovative one-handed trigger mechanism and tool-free conversion to a spreader, this clamp provides a professional-grade 150lbs (68kg) of force, though users should be mindful that its light-to-medium weight capacity may be insufficient for high-tension heavy-duty steel fabrication.

FAQs
Does this clamp require a wrench to switch to spreader mode?
No, it features a tool-free design that allows you to swap the jaw position by hand in seconds.
Can I use this on metal projects?
While it can hold metal, the 150lb force limit is intended for wood and light assembly; it is not recommended for high-tension metal fabrication.
How do I protect the pads?
The pads are made of a durable non-marring material; simply keep them clean of sharp metal shavings or grit to maintain their integrity.
Is the 300mm length the total length of the tool?
The 300mm measurement refers to the effective clamping capacity, not the overall physical length of the clamp.
What should I do if the trigger sticks?
Check for trapped wood fibers or dust inside the trigger housing and clear them out with compressed air.
Troubleshooting
Clamp slips under pressure
Ensure the rail is clean of sawdust and oils. If the clamp continues to slip, inspect the internal clutch mechanism for debris.
Head will not slide along the rail
Ensure the release trigger is fully depressed and that the rail is not bent or obstructed by hardened glue.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Fast one-handed adjustment saves time during complex assemblies.
- Effortless transition between clamping and spreading functions.
- Non-marring jaw pads protect delicate workpiece surfaces.
- Lightweight yet sturdy design reduces fatigue during extended use.
Cons
- Not intended for heavy-duty metal fabrication or high-stress applications.
- 300mm reach limits the width of large-scale projects.
- Plastic-heavy construction may show wear if dropped on concrete floors.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure the rail is free of debris so the sliding head moves smoothly. To convert to a spreader, simply depress the release button on the fixed jaw, slide it off the rail, turn it 180 degrees, and slide it onto the opposite end. For maintenance, keep the notched rail clean of sawdust and wood glue, as buildup can prevent the locking mechanism from engaging securely. If the sliding action feels gritty, wipe the rail with a dry cloth; do not use heavy lubricants on the rail, as this can cause the clamp to slip under pressure.
