Woodworker's fastening device (5)

I believe the answer is:

clamp

(Other definitions for clamp that I've seen before include "Firmly press" , "Of car, render immobile for parking offence" , "squeeze" , "Securing device with movable jaws" , "device to hold" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
