Product Information

Full details

The Faithfull F Clamp (200mm) is designed for woodworkers and DIY enthusiasts needing a reliable and comfortable clamping solution. Its key benefit is the fast-thread mechanism combined with a comfortable dual composite handle, allowing for quick and secure workpiece holding with significant force. A potential caveat is the cushioned heads, which offer protection but might reduce grip on very smooth surfaces compared to unpadded jaws.

FAQs

What is the maximum material thickness this clamp can hold?

The clamp has a capacity of 200mm, meaning it can effectively grip materials up to this thickness, assuming the throat depth is sufficient for placement.

How much force can this clamp apply?

The Faithfull F Clamp is rated to apply a clamp force of up to 270kg.

Are the cushioned heads replaceable?

The cushioned heads are designed to be a permanent part of the clamp. If they become damaged, it may be necessary to replace the entire clamp.

What material is the clamp made from?

The main body and jaws are constructed from high-carbon steel, with composite material for the handle and protective cushioning on the heads.

What is the warranty period?

This clamp comes with a 5-year guarantee from Faithfull.

Can I use this clamp for metalworking?

While the clamp is strong, it's primarily designed for woodworking. For metalworking, specific clamps designed for higher temperatures and pressures might be more suitable, though this clamp can be used for light-duty metal assembly.

How do I protect my workpiece from marks?

The clamp features cushioned heads specifically designed to protect the surface of your workpiece from scratches and pressure marks.

Troubleshooting

Clamp is difficult to slide or tighten

Clean the steel bar and threads of any dirt, sawdust, or old lubricant. Apply a light coat of wax or silicone spray to the threads.

Handle feels loose or wobbly

Ensure the handle is securely attached to the screw mechanism. Check for any damage to the composite material or the screw end.

Cushioned heads detach

Inspect the heads for damage. If they are simply loose, reattach them firmly. If damaged, consider replacing the clamp or seeking manufacturer support.

Insufficient clamping force

Ensure the clamp is fully engaged on the workpiece and the handle is tightened as much as comfortably possible. Check that the screw threads are clean and lubricated for maximum efficiency.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comfortable dual composite handle reduces user fatigue.
  • Fast thread mechanism speeds up clamping operations.
  • High-carbon steel construction ensures durability.
  • Cushioned heads protect delicate surfaces.
  • Generous clamp force for secure holding.
  • Reliable tool for various workshop tasks.

Cons

  • Cushioned heads may slip on extremely smooth materials.
  • Capacity might be limited for very large projects.
  • Not ideal for applications requiring extreme, sustained pressure over long periods without periodic checks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Faithfull F Clamp requires no assembly. Simply slide the movable jaw along the steel bar and tighten the handle to apply pressure.

Compatibility: This clamp is compatible with most common woodworking materials, including softwoods, hardwoods, plywood, and MDF. The cushioned heads are recommended for use on finished surfaces, laminates, and plastics.

Care: To ensure longevity and optimal performance:

  • Keep the sliding bar and screw threads clean and free of debris.
  • Periodically apply a light lubricant (e.g., wax or silicone spray) to the threads to maintain smooth operation.
  • Wipe down the jaws and handles after use to remove dust and sawdust.
  • Store the clamp in a dry environment to prevent rust.
