Description
Vorel corner clamp set 4-piece is a spring-loaded clamp set made of nylon, a useful aid for many kinds of installation and fixing tasks. The spring-loaded mechanism of these clamps is designed to give a maximum clamping force of 15 kg, which holds the pieces steadily and accurately in place. The light but wear-resistant body of the clamps guarantees a long service life and easy handling even with one hand.
The clamps let you fix materials quickly and efficiently at a tight 90-degree angle, which is vital when assembling frames and furniture, for example. Their 5-22 mm clamping capacity makes the set versatile, as it can hold both thin boards and thicker wooden parts.
Ease of use is improved by the fact that fitting and removal are smooth and simple: you just squeeze the spring mechanism. No separate, complicated screw tightening mechanisms are needed, which saves a lot of time during assembly.
Intended use:
- Joinery and furniture installation: A solution for assembling various pieces of furniture, drawers and frames. Holds the joints steadily at 90 degrees while they are screwed or glued, so the structure is dimensionally accurate and sturdy.
- Model making and crafts: Suitable for joining lighter materials such as plywood, balsa and light plastic parts. The clamps are gentle but give the support needed for gluing that demands precision.
- Frame making: A handy aid for assembling picture and photo frames. Makes it easier to align the corners before the final fasteners are put in.

Vorel corner clamp set 4-piece 5-22 mm 15 kg instructions for use:
Before use, make sure the clamps are clean and the spring mechanism works freely. Place the materials to be joined against each other in the position you want (90 degrees). Open the corner clamp by squeezing its handles together against the spring and place it precisely over the joint so that each jaw grips its own piece.
Release the handles gently so that the clamp jaws lock the pieces in place. Check that the joint is square before you continue with final fixing such as screwing, nailing or gluing. When gluing, keep the clamps in place until the glue has fully dried according to the manufacturer’s instructions. When the work is done, remove the clamps by squeezing the handles and lifting them off. Store the clamps in a dry, clean place.
Warnings:
- The maximum clamping force is 15 kg. Do not exceed this capacity, to avoid damaging the clamp.
- The clamp is not suitable for clamping heavy metal structures or pieces that need very high force.
- Watch your fingers in the clamp jaws; the spring mechanism is strong and can trap fingers when the handles are released.
- Do not use the clamp if its structure or spring is damaged.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ):
- Is the clamp set suitable for metalwork? This corner clamp set is designed mainly for wood, wood-based materials and light plastics. It is not suitable for heavy metalwork or for jobs that need very high force.
- Do the clamps leave marks on soft wood? Nylon is a fairly gentle material, but with very delicate materials, using protective pieces between the clamp jaws and the workpiece is recommended to prevent possible dents.
- Can these be used for angles other than 90 degrees? No. These clamps are shaped to hold pieces specifically at a fixed 90-degree right angle.
Recycling instructions:
The packaging materials of the product should be sorted according to local recycling instructions, usually cardboard and plastic into the bins provided for them. The clamps themselves consist of nylon and steel springs. At the end of their life, the clamps should be sorted as mixed waste or, if possible, the metal and plastic parts can be separated and sorted at their own collection points (metal and plastic collection).
