What sizes of fixing clips are available?
| Clamps are available in various sizes, from light to heavy models. The size of the fixing clip can be measured by the opening of its jaw, the depth of its neck, and the overall length of the clip. This information can determine if the clamp is large enough to hold a particular workpiece. | |
Jaw opening | |
| Jaw opening refers to how far the movable jaw can open from the fixed jaw. The distance between the ends of the two jaws indicates the load capacity of the clamp. |
 | The smallest jaw opening available is 10 mm (approximately 0.5 inches). The largest jaw opening available is 250 mm (approximately 10 inches). |
Throat depth | |
 | The depth of the throat can be measured by the distance from the ends of the jaws to the edge of the handle. Some long reach clamps have an extremely deep hole for clamping wider or larger workpieces. |
 | The smallest throat depth available is 40 mm (approximately 1.5 inches). The deepest throat depth available is 390 mm (approximately 15.5 inches). |
Length | |
 | The length of the locking clip can vary and is measured from the edge of the jaws to the end of the handle. |
 | The shortest available length is 150 mm (approximately 6 inches). The longest available length is 600 mm (approximately 24 inches). |
