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
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.
View Price on AmazonWho 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.
