countertop edges
This is from a summary of a portable product that helps attach skirts (edges) to countertops. It is in Castillian Spanish and the client wants US English.
Se puede colocar en cualquier punto del canto de la encimera con unos convencionales *gatos de presión*, utilizando según el caso, la plataforma (1) superior o la plataforma (2) inferior.
I'm not sure if it's pressure jack, as that term I find a lot with cars but maybe so much with countertop skirt installation. I think this is the Spanish definition of what I'm looking for:
Larousse: CARPINTERÍA Instrumento de hierro o de madera compuesto de dos planchas con un tornillo que permite aproximarlas, de modo que quede sujeta con fuerza la pieza que se pone entre ambas.
Would this just be a clamp? Thanks for your help

Clamp or G clamp
In this instance (kitchen carpentry apparently) C-clamps (or G-clamps) are used. UK English also uses the term "cramp" though people my age and younger tend to just use the word clamp these days.
