Abstract

A clamp is adapted to be secured to a second substantially identical clamp in order to accommodate a larger workpiece than can be held by a single clamp. The clamp includes a first jaw that is secured to an intermediate member, such as a bar or pipe, and a second jaw that is removeably securable to the intermediate member so as to selectively oppose the first jaw. The second jaw includes a surface thereon that is configured to interlock with a complimentarily-shaped surface on a second jaw of the second clamp.
