Need an extra set of hands while working with wood or metal? Lowe’s offers a variety of clamps and vises to keep things in place and offer support while you work. There are a variety of clamp types — some designed for specific tasks and others for more general uses — and it’s important to understand their differences so you get the right one for the job. Pipe clamps fit a specific diameter and are great for holding items like pipe and conduit. Cable clamps are designed to keep cables or cords together, especially helpful when routing cables. Spring clamps supply light pressure ideal for gluing tasks, while C-clamps work well with smaller objects. If you’re working with a larger width, a bar clamp might be your best bet. Beam clamps and wood clamps are other available options. If you need a piece secured while cutting, drilling or sanding, consider a bench vise, which features parallel jaws with a screw mechanism to tightly press upon the material needing to be held. It can also be attached directly to your work bench for convenience. For manipulating small items, a vise grip, or locking pliers, provides the leverage you need to remove broken screws or loosen stubborn nuts. When you need more hands on the project, shop at Lowe’s to find clamps and vises to get the job done right.
