Unlike standard F-clamps or C-clamps that clamp from opposite sides, corner clamps work by applying pressure from the corner itself, ensuring your pieces are aligned perfectly at a 90-degree angle.

Here are some of the common types of corner clamps:

• 90-degree corner clamps: These are the most common type of corner clamp. They have two L-shaped jaws that meet at a 90-degree angle, allowing you to clamp two pieces of material together at a corner.
• Right angle clamps: These clamps function similarly to 90-degree corner clamps but may have a slightly different jaw design.
• Self-squaring corner clamps: These clamps have a built-in mechanism that automatically squares the material at a 90-degree angle, making them even easier to use for precise corner joints.

Here are some of the benefits of using corner clamps:

• Accurate corner joints: Corner clamps ensure that your pieces are aligned perfectly at a 90-degree angle, creating strong and professional-looking corner joints.
• Ease of use: Many corner clamps are easy to use with a single-handed operation, freeing up your other hand to position and secure your materials.
• Versatility: Corner clamps can be used for a variety of applications, including woodworking, cabinetry, picture framing, and other projects that require right-angle assemblies.
• Time-saving: Using corner clamps can save you time and effort compared to trying to clamp corners with standard clamps.

When choosing a corner clamp, consider the following factors:

• Size: Corner clamps come in a variety of sizes to accommodate different project requirements.
• Jaw capacity: The jaw capacity refers to the maximum thickness of material that the clamp can hold.
• Material: Corner clamps are typically made of steel or aluminum for durability.
• Jaw style: Some corner clamps have jaws that can be swiveled to accommodate different clamping angles.
