The parallel jaw design keeps workpieces seated flat and square throughout the clamping stroke, reducing distortion and slippage during assembly, glue-ups, or holding operations. The arms are constructed from hardened steel for durability under repeated use. With a maximum capacity of 2.25 inches, a jaw length of 3 inches, and a reach of 1.21875 inches, this clamp suits close-quarter holding tasks where a standard C-clamp or bar clamp would be too bulky or imprecise. Tradespeople, machinists, woodworkers, and fabricators will find this clamp useful for light-duty bench work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe STARRETT 50596 is suited for bench-top fabrication, woodworking assembly, and light metalworking tasks where parallel jaw alignment is critical. The compact jaw length and moderate throat depth make it practical for holding small components, edge joints, or fixtures in place while fasteners or adhesives set. It is a single-piece unit packaged individually and intended for professional shop use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eParallel jaw design maintains even clamping pressure across the full jaw face\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHardened steel arm construction for extended service life under shop conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2.25 inch maximum capacity suits small-to-medium workholding tasks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3 inch jaw length distributes clamping load across a broad contact area\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.21875 inch reach allows access into tight spaces and along workpiece edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact form factor fits bench-top and close-quarter applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose parallel clamp for bench-top and light fabrication workholding applications where a 2.25 inch maximum capacity and 3 inch jaw length are appropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis clamp is a hand tool and requires no installation in the traditional sense. Tighten the clamping screw by hand or with a suitable wrench to achieve the desired holding force. Do not exceed the rated maximum capacity or apply impact force to the screw mechanism, as this may damage the threads or jaw faces. Inspect jaw faces before use to ensure they are clean and free of debris that could mar the workpiece surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.25 inches (57.15 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJaw Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReach (Throat Depth)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.21875 inches (30.96 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArm Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardened Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.188 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: STARRETT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50596\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542437822770,"sku":"50596","price":229.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d18fad925c80cc872593dc557c108fc6.jpg?v=1785900492","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-50596-parallel-clamp-2-1-4-in-hardened-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
