Locking C-Clamp with Swivel Pads

The Irwin Tools 18 is a locking C-clamp plier that uses wide-opening jaws and swivel pads to hold workpieces firmly while protecting surfaces from marring. Its nickel-plated steel construction resists corrosion during regular shop use. The tool is sold new as a single unit on a card.

Welders and fabricators needing deep reach

The 1-1/2 inch throat depth suits tasks that require clamping behind flanges or inside channels. Users who need a longer reach or a different jaw profile should consider other clamp styles.

1-1/2 inch throat depth

This single measurement determines whether the clamp can reach your specific workpiece. Verify the distance from the edge of your material to the clamp point before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Will the 6-inch jaw opening and 1-1/2-inch throat depth reach around the thick steel brackets I already have?

The 6-inch capacity and 1-1/2-inch throat depth let the swivel pads grip large brackets and odd shapes that standard C-clamps cannot reach.

How do I know the locking mechanism is holding at full pressure once I close the handles?

When the handles snap fully closed the internal over-centre cam locks solid; the nickel-plated steel jaws stay clamped until you press the release lever.

Does the carded pack include both clamps or just one, and are swivel pads fitted?

The carded unit is a single Irwin Vise-Grip Locking C-Clamp with factory-fitted swivel pads; no extra parts are required to start work.
