clamp
clamp meaning
A clamp or vice. It stands for gripping, compressing and holding something firmly in place. It appears in workshop and DIY contexts. Figuratively it means pressure — being squeezed, clamped down on, held tight. It is one of the less-used tool emoji, for the simple reason that most people do not own a vice.
