Norwegian term or phrase: godsklemmen
Sitter godsklemmen riktig slik at det ikke dannes krypstrømmer?

Is this just pliers/clamp or is there a specific term for it?

ground clamp


Explanation:
I'd like to see the word 'ground' there, as this clamp is a grounding work clamp and not just a clamp to secure a work piece in place. Grounding work clamp works well too.
