Face Clamps

Face clamps clamp two flat surfaces flush for pocket‑hole joinery and face‑frame assemblies.  The large pads distribute pressure evenly without marring the surface.

What are face clamps used for?
Face clamps are designed to hold two workpieces flush against each other, making them especially useful for pocket hole joinery, edge-joining boards, and ensuring flat, even surfaces during assembly.

How are face clamps different from standard clamps?
Unlike bar or C-clamps that primarily apply pressure in one direction, face clamps use wide, flat jaws to distribute pressure evenly across a surface. This prevents denting and helps align materials more precisely.

Can face clamps be used on delicate surfaces?
Yes — many face clamps have padded or wide jaws that reduce marking. For extra protection, you can add clamp pads or a scrap piece of wood between the jaws and your workpiece.
