Westward 2FGN9 L-Clamp Economy 12 in 4 3/4 in D

12-Inch L-Clamp with 4 3/4-Inch Throat Depth

This Westward economy bar clamp provides a 12-inch clamping capacity and a 4 3/4-inch throat depth for reaching across wider workpieces. The carbon steel bar measures 1 3/16 inches thick and uses a sliding bar mechanism with a swivel jaw pad to distribute pressure evenly. A steel sliding T-handle drives the 7/8-inch spindle to apply up to 2,600 pounds of clamping force. It is a straightforward tool for glue-ups, assembly and general shop holding tasks.

Upgrading from Smaller C-Clamps or Spring Clamps

When a project exceeds the reach or pressure of a standard C-clamp, this bar clamp adds both throat depth and total clamping force in one step. The sliding bar lets you set the jaw spread quickly without spinning a long screw, and the swivel pad prevents marring on angled surfaces. The jump is worth it whenever you need consistent, high pressure across a 12-inch span rather than spot pressure at the edge of a workpiece.

Suited for Woodworkers

Builders who regularly join panels, cabinets or frames will appreciate the 4 3/4-inch throat depth and high force rating. Users who only need light pressure on small parts or who require a clamp that fits in very tight corners should look at something else, as the bar thickness and T-handle demand more clearance than compact alternatives.
