Tests, practical applications
Once the C-clamp is manufactured, one common test involves cutting a metal profile using the clamp to evaluate its clamping force, stability, and ability to withstand heavy loads. This helps to ensure that the C-clamp is reliable and capable of securely holding materials in place during various DIY projects, see this link.
