The Eclipse F-Clamp (80mm / 24" / 600mm) is designed for woodworkers needing reliable and strong clamping for medium to heavy-duty applications. Its key benefit is the substantial 250 kg of sustainable clamping force and durable construction. A minor caveat is its traditional wooden handle, which may require a firmer grip for maximum force application compared to ergonomic alternatives. This clamp features cast iron heads, a nickel-plated steel bar, and protective plastic pads for secure and mark-free workpiece holding.

Ensure the serrated grooves on the bar are clean and free of debris. Check that the sliding head is fully engaged with the bar.
Clean the steel bar and remove any rust or accumulated debris. Apply a thin layer of lubricant to the bar.
Ensure the pads are correctly aligned and pressed firmly onto the swivel shoe and fixed head until they snap into place.
Ensure the workpiece is positioned correctly within the clamp's capacity. Apply firm, consistent pressure to the wooden handle.
Setup: The clamp is ready to use out of the box. To engage, slide the head along the bar to the approximate position, then turn the handle to apply clamping pressure. The plastic pads are designed to snap onto the swivel shoe and the fixed head.
Compatibility: This clamp is suitable for general woodworking applications. It is compatible with materials commonly used in woodworking, such as solid wood, plywood, and MDF.
Care: Keep the steel bar clean and free from debris. Periodically apply a light coat of oil to the bar to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation of the sliding head. Wipe the wooden handle with a dry cloth. Store the clamp in a dry environment.
