Irwin Quick-Grip Hybrid Trigger Clamp - 600mm

The Irwin Quick-Grip Hybrid Trigger Clamp provides a maximum clamping force of 136kg.

The throat depth is 63.5mm.

This clamp is primarily designed for woodworking and general DIY tasks. While it can hold metal components, its clamping force and jaw design are optimized for wood and similar materials.

Wipe the pads with a damp cloth after use. For dried glue, gently scrape it off or use a soft brush. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

The clamp is durable, but prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions is not recommended. Store it in a dry environment to maintain its longevity and function.

This hybrid clamp offers one-handed trigger operation for quicker adjustments, whereas a standard F-clamp typically requires manual tightening with a screw handle. It combines this convenience with the strength often associated with F-clamps.

Squeeze the trigger handle firmly and completely. Ensure the jaws are square to the workpiece for even pressure distribution.

Ensure the bar is clean and free of debris. Gently work the trigger mechanism back and forth. If the issue persists, check for any obstructions in the jaw mechanism.

Ensure the clamp is fully engaged on the workpiece and the trigger is squeezed completely. Verify the workpiece dimensions are within the clamp's capacity. For heavier tasks, consider a clamp with a higher clamping force rating.

Confirm that the glue-resistant pads are clean and making full contact with the surface. Ensure the clamping force is not excessive for the material's fragility.

While pads are glue-resistant, some types of glue may require gentle scraping once dried or wiping with a damp cloth immediately after use. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
