What this is

Cast-iron sash clamp heads that mount onto a wooden batten you supply — a third variant of the bring-your-own-bar concept alongside the Stanley STHT83166 (mounts to a 2x4) and pipe clamp fixtures (mount to 3/4" pipe, see our pipe clamps comparison). “Sash clamp” is the traditional British/European term for this general tool category.

IRWIN Record M130 Sash Clamp Heads

Cast-iron head and slide; steel handle and main screw · Mounts to a user-supplied wooden batten, minimum 1" thick (25mm x 40mm+ recommended) · 22.0 cm x 6.0 cm x 31.0 cm · pin attached by welded chain

A traditional sash-clamp-head design — clamp length is only limited by how long a batten you cut, similar to a pipe clamp fixture's relationship to pipe length.

Who this is for

Anyone who wants custom-length clamps without buying a fixed-length bar clamp for every size, and prefers sourcing a wooden batten over pipe or a 2x4 — batten stock is often easier to plane to a precise, lighter-weight size than pipe or dimensional lumber.

Who this isn’t for

If you’d rather not source and prepare your own batten stock, a fixed-length bar or pipe clamp fixture (see our pipe clamps comparison) is more ready-to-use out of the box.

Bottom line

Multiple independent retailers agree on the core specs, but this is still a cross-referenced spec writeup, not a hands-on test. On paper this is a traditional, genuinely different bring-your-own-bar option — a wooden batten instead of pipe or a 2x4. IRWIN Record M130 if you want custom-length clamps and prefer working with batten stock.
