What is a "C-clamp"?
A C-clamp is a type of clamp shaped like the letter "C," with a fixed arm and a screw that tightens or loosens to secure objects. The design allows it to hold materials tightly in place, such as wood or metal, while they are being worked on. The screw is turned to adjust the opening, and it can be tightened to clamp down on the object. C-clamps are commonly used in woodworking, metalworking, and other tasks that require temporary holding of materials during cutting, sanding, or gluing.
