Product Information

Full details

These Ozzo 300mm Dual Action Bar Clamps are designed for DIY enthusiasts, woodworkers, and craftspeople seeking a reliable tool for holding and spreading materials. Their key benefit is the quick conversion between clamping and spreading functions, enhancing project efficiency. A potential caveat is the 65kg load capacity, which may be insufficient for very heavy-duty industrial applications. This pack includes two versatile clamps featuring a durable steel I-beam rod, a comfortable fibreglass-strengthened nylon handle, and protective jaw pads.

FAQs

What is the maximum clamping force?

The Ozzo 300mm Dual Action Bar Clamp has a heavy-duty capacity of 65kg.

How do I switch between clamp and spreader modes?

To switch, press the quick-release button on the handle and slide the movable jaw to the desired position, then release the button to lock it in place. For clamping, squeeze the handle; for spreading, apply pressure away from the fixed jaw.

Are the jaw pads replaceable?

Yes, the protective jaw pads are designed to be replaceable. If they become damaged, you can seek replacements.

What is the maximum opening width for clamping?

The clamp has a 300mm (approximately 12 inches) reach, indicating the maximum material size it can accommodate.

Can this clamp be used for metalworking?

While primarily designed for woodworking and DIY, it can be used for light metalworking tasks where its 65kg capacity is sufficient. The protective pads should be used with caution on finished metal surfaces.

What material is the handle made of?

The handle is constructed from fibreglass-strengthened nylon, providing durability and a comfortable grip.

How should I clean the clamp?

Wipe the clamp with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use. Ensure the sliding mechanism is kept free of dust and debris for smooth operation.

Troubleshooting

Clamp not holding securely

Ensure the material is properly seated within the jaws and that the locking mechanism is fully engaged. Check for any debris on the bar or jaws that may be preventing a tight grip.

Spreader function is difficult to engage

Press the quick-release button firmly. Ensure the sliding jaw is clean and moves freely on the bar. A light application of lubricant may help if it feels stiff.

Jaw pads are damaged or missing

Contact the manufacturer or retailer for replacement pads. Do not use the clamp without protective pads on delicate surfaces.

Handle feels loose

Inspect the handle attachment. If it is a fibreglass-strengthened nylon handle, it is designed to be robust, but extreme force could cause issues. Contact customer support if the handle appears compromised.
