The 10 Best Angle Clamps

Coming with four clamps for under $20, the ZFE TZ7100 is a great value for home DIYers. They are made from an aluminum alloy that makes them very lightweight, so they are easy to carry around in a toolbox, and have a maximum clamping width of 75 mm.

The MLCS 9001 Can-Do (appx. $25) is a clamp and a vise in one handy tool. It is a good choice for small projects, like making a painter's canvas frame, can be set up nearly instantaneously, and has oblong holes designed for mounting it to a workbench or table.

The Bessey Tools WS-3+2K (appx. $23) can accept stock of up to 55 millimeters, though it is important to note that each piece must be the same thickness. Conveniently, it comes with two table clamps, so you can secure it to your workbench when needed.

The B&M Tool COR-CLMP (about $31) can help you create the perfect alignment when setting corners by serving as your third set of hands for those times when two just won't do. It is best used for gluing, nailing, and screwing, though, and not as a welder's aid.

The Impakt Tools 9-inch (around $21) is ideal for pocket hole joinery, as it features a pin on one side that slips securely into the hole to hold everything in place. The opposite end has a swivel pad that sits squarely on all surfaces, no matter their angle.

The Kaufhof KV4W (around $52) offers a two-inch jaw opening in a compact unit that is easy to slip into a tool box or bag. It is made from heavy-duty cast iron that allows it to be used again and again for years without ever failing while on the job.

The Kaka Industrial AC-60 (about $84) is lightweight, yet solidly made, making it a suitable choice for almost any job site application. It features a sturdy copper-plated spindle screw that resists weld splatter and allows you to tighten it down as firmly as needed.

The Bessey VAS23 Vario (appx. $43) has reciprocal gears and a woven polyester strap with high tensile strength that won't stretch or loosen while holding joints together. It's perfect for keeping a frame in shape as glue sets, with its 23-foot clamping capacity.

The Hobart 770565 (about $20) is a two-axis model that will help you create perfect 90-degree corners every time, whether you are working on square joints or round tubes. The plastic components are not top quality, but at such a low cost, you can buy extras if needed.

The Bessey WSM-12 (around $150) holds angles together with a vise-like grip while creating an unobstructed working area, so you can still precisely weld or assemble joints without the extra hassle of worrying about your clamp. Its an industrial-grade option suitable for commercial use.
