L-Clamp Economy 8 in 4 3/4 in D
This Westward 2FGN7 L-Clamp is a carbon steel bar clamp designed for general clamping tasks. It suits DIY users and professionals who need a basic sliding T-handle tool for woodworking or metalworking. The economy model provides functional clamping without premium features. Buyers needing higher clamping force or specialised jaw designs should consider other options.
1,500 lb clamping force
The single specification that decides fit is the rated clamping force of 1,500 lb. This figure determines whether the clamp can hold your workpiece securely under load. Verify that your application does not exceed this limit before purchase. The throat depth of 4 3/4 in and 8 in capacity are secondary to this force rating.
Swivel jaw pad and sliding bar
The swivel jaw pad adapts to angled surfaces, improving contact on irregular workpieces. The bar slide mechanism allows quick positioning along the 7/8 in thick carbon steel bar. No accessories or software are included with this hand tool. California Proposition 65 warnings apply regarding chemical exposure.

Questions about this item
How much clamping force does the 1,500 lb rating deliver on a real workpiece?
The 1,500 lb rating is the maximum force the spindle can apply when fully tightened; actual force on the workpiece depends on how hard you turn the handle and the condition of the threads.
What does the bar-slide mechanism limit in everyday use?
The sliding bar lets you set the jaw anywhere along the 8 in capacity, but the 7/8 in bar thickness and 5/8 in spindle set the maximum rigidity and torque you can transmit.
What clearance do the 4 3/4 in throat depth and 7/8 in bar require for mounting?
You need at least 4 3/4 in of reach from the bar to the jaw centre and enough space around the 7/8 in bar for the sliding T-handle to rotate freely.
