Wilton 1.5-FC C-Clamp 1.5 in 8750 lb hand tool

Forged steel C-clamp

The Wilton 1.5-FC is a forged-steel C-clamp built for extra-heavy-duty clamping tasks. Its black-oxide finish resists corrosion while the flat anvil and square throat distribute force evenly across the workpiece. A steel spindle with matching black-oxide coating threads smoothly through the full opening range. The clamp weighs 1.95 lb and is supplied new.

Professional and serious DIY use

This clamp suits machinists, welders and fabricators who need up to 8750 lb of clamping pressure in a compact frame. The 1 7/16 in throat depth reaches past flanges and ribs that block shallower clamps. Buyers who need a wider opening than 1 3/4 in or a swivel pad for angled surfaces should look at other designs.

8750 lb clamping pressure

The single figure that decides fit is the 8750 lb maximum clamping pressure. If the joint or fixture requires less force, a lighter clamp may be adequate; if the application demands more, this model cannot deliver. Match the pressure rating to the job before purchase.
