Clamp - What is it?

[BpB123]

I found 4 of these at a recent estate sale ... I can think of a few uses, but wanted to get the thoughts of the forum "brain Trust" on what they are really used for.





Thoughts?

THANKS!

My guess: clamps mount on the edge of your work bench, 2x4, or any stable surface, forming a bar clamp.

I could have used one or more of those plenty of times to clamp against a solid surface where a C type clamp couldn't be placed around the object.

These are called Right angle clamps



These are called Face Frame clamps






Neither of them has a second way to tighten, they merely use friction against the piece you are clamping up too. Both remedy needing a third hand. Only other kind of oppositional clamp I know of?


Thats the best I got for you

Thanks All!  I appreciate your inputs

Daddo and Bill:  Pretty much what I thought/planned on using them for.

Steve:  Funny, I also got 2 of those Universal 70 Face Frame clamps at the same sale.

Thanks Again,
