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.

Questions about this item
What does the 8750 lb clamping pressure mean for everyday use?
The 8750 lb rating is the maximum force the clamp can apply; actual holding power depends on how tight you turn the spindle and the rigidity of the workpiece.
How does the 1 7/16 in throat depth limit what I can clamp?
Throat depth of 1 7/16 in sets the maximum reach from the screw centre to the frame, so only workpieces thinner than that can be fully engaged.
Will the 1.95 lb forged-steel body fit my bench vise or mounting hole?
This is a handheld C-clamp with no mounting holes; it is positioned by hand and weighs 1.95 lb.
