St. Louis, Missouri, January 2012 - Great for welding, assembly, repairs, woodworking and general-purpose clamping, these patented heavy-duty shark clamps have a quick-acting pushbutton to allow sliding the handle freely in and out to a maximum opening of 5" or 6.5", depending on the model.

The new clamps are available in two sizes, and with either a T handle (for greater tightening leverage) or a straight handle (with comfortable, ergonomic screwdriver-type handle), and with optional no-mar rubber pads. Look for CL-500-SHRK, CL-501-SHRK, CL-650-SHRK, and CL-651-SHRK in the online catalog or send for a catalog at Carr Lane Mfg. Co., 4200 Carr Lane Ct., St. Louis, MO 63119.
