Kreg Announces Classic 2-Inch Face Clamp (and Renames the 3-Inch Model)
Coming this March is the new Kreg Classic 2-Inch Face Clamp. It is aย multipurpose clamp for wood projects that offers versatility and value. Since Kreg is introducing the Classic 2-Inch Face Clamp with a new name, the company has renamed their existing Kreg Face Clampย (KHC-Premium) toย Classic 3-Inch Face Clamp to make sure users know theyโre in the same family.
Like itโs big brother, the new 2-inch design has a foundation built on traditional locking pliers. The jaws have been replaced to create a C-clamp and weโre off to the races. Donโt confuse this model with the Kreg Automaxx series. While both are locking clamps, the Classic series features a force adjustment screw on the back of the handle rather than between the handles. The familiar operation and adjustment of the Classic clamp leaves users with no learning curve.
The newย Kreg Classic 2-Inch Face Clamp providesย the same features, versatility, and durability ofย theย current Classic 3-Inch Face Clamp โ itโs just sized smaller. It offers 2-inch reach and 2-1/4-inch capacityย along withย two large non-marring clamp faces and swiveling pads.
Because of its smaller size, the newย 2-Inch Face Clamp is perfect for tight and narrow spacesย as well asย users who prefer a smaller clamp. The suggested retail price for this is pretty reasonable,ย coming in underย $15.
