Non-slip Handle for C-Clamp
May 13, 2015
C-clamps are one of the most used tools in my shop. However, the handle that tightens the clamp is free to move and at times it can be a real nuisance. To solve this problem, I slipped an O-ring on each side of the handle. Now it stays where I want it, and I can easily position it out of the way, leave it centered, or even slide it all the way to one end for maximum leverage.
