Turning Bar Clamps into Bar Spreaders

This may be something most people already know about, in in case you don’t…

In this See Jane Drill video, Leah shows how you can turn around the fixed jaw on a ratcheting bar clamp to turn your clamps into a spreader. Some clamps come with a button-release, some have a butterfly screw, some a nut and bolt, but almost all such clamps can be switched into a spreader mode.

In the video, Leah also shows how you can use two clamps to create one large clamp.
