Small clamps make a big difference when you're trying to keep a workpiece steady without getting in the way. These IRWIN Quick-Grip Mini bar clamps sit in the brand's one-handed clamping range, competing with the usual budget F-clamps but with a quicker trigger action for repetitive tasks. At 300mm, they're aimed at lighter-duty woodworking, trim work and general fixing where you need control rather than brute force.

Who are these clamps for?

If you're regularly holding pieces for gluing, bonding or drilling, the Quick-Grip style lets you apply pressure with one hand while keeping the other on alignment. The sustained clamping force is spread evenly, which helps reduce the risk of marking softer timber compared with narrower clamp faces. They're also useful as a "third hand" for small assemblies where a full-size sash clamp would be overkill.

  • 12in / 300mm capacity for smaller panels, mouldings and joinery setups
  • Up to 63kg sustained force for light-duty holding and glue-ups
  • 2-pack so you can clamp both ends or run a pair in parallel for better stability
