What this clamp is and who uses it
The Westward 2LAY6 is a C-clamp designed for holding workpieces during fabrication, repair or assembly tasks. It suits metalworkers, woodworkers and maintenance technicians who need a reliable manual clamping tool. The cast iron body and powder-coated finish resist corrosion in workshop environments. Buyers needing powered or automated clamping will not find that capability here.
The spec that decides fit
Jaw opening reaches a maximum of 4 inches with a throat depth of 2 1/16 inches, setting the largest workpiece envelope this clamp can span. The spindle delivers up to 2,150 lb of clamping force through a nickel-plated steel screw and sliding T-handle. A flat swivel pad distributes pressure evenly on the workpiece surface. If your application requires a wider opening or deeper reach, this model will not cover it.
How it fits into a workflow
The clamp mounts directly onto benches, fixtures or workpieces without additional hardware. Its standard throat shape clears common flange and web profiles. The powder-coated gray body and nickel-plated spindle withstand exposure to cutting fluids and solvents. No external power, hydraulics or pneumatics are required, freeeding up connections for other equipment. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to this product.

Questions about this item
What does the 2,150 lb clamping force mean when I am tightening a workpiece?
It is the maximum force the screw can apply before the frame yields, so the joint stays tight under heavy loads.
How does the sliding T-handle affect the torque I can apply?
The sliding T-handle gives extra leverage, letting you reach the rated clamping force with less hand effort.
Will the 2 1/16 in throat depth clear a standard 2×4 when the jaws are fully open?
Yes, the throat depth measures from the screw centre to the frame, so a 2×4 fits with the jaws at any opening up to 4 in.
