An adjustable clamp system and method for extending the jaw opening of an adjustable clamp are presented. The adjustable clamp system includes a first slide-adjustable clamp and a second slide-adjustable clamp, with each clamp having a fixed jaw and a movable jaw. The system further comprises, for each of the slide-adjustable clamps, a rail, along which the movable jaw travels. The ends of the rails of the two adjustable clamps, relieved subsequent to the removal of the fixed jaw member, are engaged. Upon engagement of the rails, a coupling member suitably aligns and secures them, so as to maintain the joining thereof. The jaw opening of the adjustable clamp is formed by the jaw member movably attached to the first rail and the jaw member movably attached to the second rail, being substantially increased thereby.
