Westward 2HUN2 C-Clamp 3 in 1 7/8 in throat 800 lb hand tool

3 in C-Clamp with 800 lb force

This Westward C-clamp opens to a maximum jaw width of 3 in and delivers a clamping force of 800 lb. The cast iron body has a powder coat finish for corrosion resistance, while the nickel-plated steel spindle resists wear. A sliding T-handle provides the leverage needed to apply full pressure quickly. The flat jaw pads include a swivel pad that adjusts to uneven workpiece surfaces.

Users needing 1 7/8 in throat depth

Woodworkers and metalworkers who require a standard throat depth of 1 7/8 in for reaching past the edge of a workpiece will find this clamp suitable. The 3 in maximum opening handles thick stock and wide glue-ups. Buyers who need a deeper throat to reach further into a workpiece or a wider maximum opening for larger assemblies should look at other models. The fixed 800 lb force rating also means this tool cannot be adjusted for lighter clamping pressure on delicate materials.

800 lb clamping force capacity

The single specification that determines if this is the right part is the 800 lb clamping force. This rating defines the maximum pressure the clamp can exert when the sliding T-handle is fully tightened. Verify that your application requires this level of force and that the workpiece can withstand it without damage. The clamp also carries a California Proposition 65 warning for chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm.
