Wood Project Clamps From Kreg Make Clamping Fast and Easy!

These new Face Clamps from Kreg feature new technology that adjusts the clamps automatically, eliminating the need to readjust the clamp for every change in material thickness. Just squeeze the padded handles and the clamp locks closed, no matter what the thickness. Feature easy-to-regulate clamping pressure that you can simply set and forget. Auto-adjust technology maintains the desired pressure every time. In addition to these great features, these clamps feature extra-large clamp faces, comfortable padded handles, and heavy-duty construction.

Auto Adjust Technology - Automaxx Clamps automatically adjust to the material thickness. You can clamp a 2x4 and then a 1/2" piece of plywood without re-adjusting the clamp.

Easy-To-Adjust Clamping Pressure - With Automaxx it’s easy to regulate clamping pressure. Just set your desired pressure by turning the thumbscrew for more or less pressure. Once the pressure is set, the clamp maintains consistent clamping pressure with every thickness.

Heavy-Duty Construction - All Automaxx Clamps feature a heavy-duty all-metal construction to withstand years of rugged use. They also have ergonomic padded grips for comfort and ease of use.

116-103 features a 3" reach with a 2-3/4" clamping range.
116-104 features a 6" reach with a 5" clamping range.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Automaxx auto-adjust technology?

Automaxx automatically adjusts the clamp to the material thickness, so you can clamp a 2x4 and then a 1/2" piece of plywood without re-adjusting. Browse more clamping tools.

What's the difference between the KHC3 and KHC6?

The KHC3 (116-103) has a 3" reach with a 2-3/4" clamping range, while the KHC6 (116-104) has a 6" reach with a 5" clamping range. Choose based on how deep and thick your workpieces are.

How do I set the clamping pressure?

Turn the thumbscrew to set your desired pressure once. With Automaxx, the clamp then maintains that consistent pressure on every thickness, set it and forget it.

Are these clamps compatible with Kreg jigs?

Yes. They are compatible with the Kreg Jig, Kreg Portable Base, and Kreg Jig Jr., making them ideal for pocket-hole assembly. Explore related cabinetry & joinery tools.

What are the clamps made of?

They feature heavy-duty all-metal construction to withstand years of rugged use, along with ergonomic padded grips for comfort.

Do I have to readjust the clamp when material thickness changes?

No. The whole point of Automaxx is that it auto-adjusts to any thickness within the clamping range, so you simply squeeze the handles and the clamp locks closed.

Why do these clamps have extra-large faces?

The extra-large clamp faces spread clamping pressure evenly across the workpiece, helping avoid marring and giving a more secure hold during assembly and glue-ups.

Which size should I buy for deeper reach?

Choose the KHC6, which offers a 6" reach and a 5" clamping range for thicker or wider work. For lighter, closer work, the KHC3 is a compact option. See more bar clamps.

Are the handles comfortable for repeated use?

Yes. The clamps have ergonomic padded grips designed to prevent hand fatigue during repeated clamping.

What kinds of jobs are these clamps good for?

They excel at face-clamping for pocket-hole joinery, glue-ups, and general workholding. Round out your bench with vises and other workholding gear.
