Abstract
A bar clamp operates by squeezing a handle to close a jaw. The improvements of the present invention include: low actuation force, two speed action to provide both high speed closing and high force clamping, a removable bar to allow different length bars to be installed into one body, a side mounted bar release button which allows easy access and an increased handle stroke, and reinforced wedge elements.
