handscrew

Two-handled wooden clamp

A handscrew is a clamp with two parallel wooden jaws tightened by twin threaded rods, used in woodworking to hold pieces together while glue sets or during assembly.

The jaws can be angled to grip irregular shapes.

Also, any screw or fastener designed to be turned by hand rather than with a tool.
