This Stanley trigger clamp is like two tools in one, and it's seriously handy. First, it's a quick-action bar clamp with a massive 18-inch (455mm) clamping capacity. Need to glue up a project, hold pieces together, or secure something on your workbench? The dual-pivot trigger lets you close it fast and provides up to 90kg of clamping force – that's plenty strong for most woodworking or DIY jobs. But here's the cool part: with a simple flip of the jaws, it converts into a spreader with a 27-inch (695mm) reach. Need to push something apart, like installing a cabinet or prying a frame open? Now you can. The bar is removable, so in theory you could use longer or shorter bars with it (though you'd need to buy those separately). The construction is reinforced nylon and steel, so it's tough. The jaws have removable plastic pads to protect your workpiece from getting marred. If you do a lot of projects, having a clamp that can also spread is a huge space and money saver. A versatile, heavy-duty tool for your workshop.
