C-clamps
Letter-shaped holders
C-clamps are adjustable metal clamps shaped like the letter C, with a threaded screw that tightens against the frame to hold objects firmly in place.
Essential tools in woodworking, metalworking, and general construction, they secure pieces during gluing, welding, or cutting: Use a couple of C-clamps to hold the boards together while the glue dries.
