A clamp assembly that can be installed on and removed from its mounting on an elongated structure (e.g., 2&#xd7;4) without the need for sliding past an end of the structure is disclosed. The clamp assembly may include a pair of clamp bodies with pads for engaging a workpiece. Each of the clamp bodies includes a clamp mount with a movable member arranged to be moved into forced engagement with an exterior surface (e.g., side) of the 2&#xd7;4 to fix the clamp body on the 2&#xd7;4. At least one of or both of the clamp bodies include a releasable connection that, when released, allows for the removal of the clamp body from the 2&#xd7;4 without the need to longitudinally slide the body past an end of the 2&#xd7;4.

Clamp assembly

A clamp includes a first jaw, a second jaw, a first connection, a second connection, and an actuator. The first jaw and the second jaw include a first clamp surface and a second clamp surface, respectively. The first connection operatively connects the first jaw to the second jaw in a manner that permits relative movement between the first jaw and the second jaw. The second connection is operatively connected between the first jaw and the second jaw. The actuator is configured to shorten a length of the second connection to thereby reduce a relative distance between the first clamp surface and the second clamp surface.

Clamp

A modular saw arrangement includes a main saw frame structure and a detachable handle structure. A second end portion of the detachable handle structure includes a first blade connector and a second blade connector. A blade tensioner arrangement of the main saw frame structure and the first blade connector are configured to be connected with opposite ends of a blade when a first end portion of the detachable handle structure is connected with an upper frame portion of the main saw frame structure so as to form a hacksaw configuration. The second blade connector that enables attachment of the blade in a grip configuration to enable the detachable handle structure to be configured as a stand-alone detachable handle saw when the first end portion is disconnected with the upper frame portion.
