bar clamp
Parallel-jaw pressure tool
A bar clamp is a woodworking tool with two jaws mounted on a flat metal bar—one fixed, one sliding—used to hold pieces together while glue dries or during assembly.
The sliding jaw locks at any point along the bar, allowing it to accommodate workpieces of varying widths: I need a longer bar clamp for this tabletop.
