Spring Clamps for Quick and Easy Clamping
Spring clamps are practical clamping tools designed to hold workpieces quickly during woodworking, DIY, assembly, fitting and gluing operations.
Unlike a traditional screw clamp that generally requires adjustment before tightening, a spring clamp opens simply by squeezing the handles. Once released, the spring immediately applies pressure to the workpiece.
This simple mechanism makes spring clamps particularly quick to use and allows the operator to position or hold a workpiece with one hand while fitting the clamp with the other.
Why Use a Spring Clamp?
A professional spring clamp is particularly useful whenever fast and temporary clamping is required. It can be used to hold two components before final assembly, keep a workpiece in position during gluing, or secure a guide or accessory to a workbench.
One of the main advantages of spring clamps is their speed of use. Simply open the jaws, position the clamp and release the handles to obtain immediate clamping pressure.
Spring clamps are therefore particularly useful in woodworking workshops, but they are also suitable for many assembly, fitting, maintenance and general DIY applications.
Professional Piher Spring Clamps
Our range includes Piher spring clamps designed for regular workshop use. Their steel body provides strength and rigidity, while the extra-strong tempered spring ensures effective clamping pressure.
PVC protective pads on the jaws help prevent direct contact between the metal parts of the clamp and the workpiece. The PVC-covered handles also provide a comfortable grip when opening the clamp.
The cataphoresis coating helps protect the metal components and complements the robust construction of these professional clamping tools.
Which Size Spring Clamp Should You Choose?
The right size mainly depends on the dimensions of the workpiece and the required opening capacity. Having several sizes of spring clamps in the workshop makes it easy to select the most suitable clamp for each job.
| Overall length |
Maximum opening |
Throat depth |
Recommended use |
| 110 mm |
35 mm |
30 mm |
Small workpieces and precision work |
| 160 mm |
55 mm |
45 mm |
General woodworking and assembly work |
| 240 mm |
85 mm |
70 mm |
Larger workpieces requiring greater clamping capacity |
A compact 110 mm spring clamp is particularly convenient for small workpieces and jobs where space is limited. The 160 mm spring clamp provides a versatile size suitable for many everyday workshop applications.
For larger workpieces, the 240 mm spring clamp provides increased opening capacity and throat depth.
Spring Clamps for Woodworking, Gluing and Assembly
In woodworking, spring clamps can be used to temporarily hold wooden components, position parts before screwing, secure guides or assist with various gluing and assembly operations.
Their convenient one-handed operation is particularly useful when a workpiece needs to be held in position at the same time. Several clamps can also be positioned around an assembly to provide multiple holding points.
For applications requiring very high clamping pressure or precise pressure adjustment, a traditional screw clamp is generally more suitable. A spring clamp is primarily designed to provide fast, simple and immediate clamping.
