Heavy-duty C-clamp with forged-steel body
This Wilton 3-FC C-clamp delivers 16,250 lb of clamping pressure for demanding metalworking and fabrication tasks. The forged-steel body with black-oxide finish resists wear and corrosion in shop environments. A 2-5/16 in throat depth provides reach around flanges and structural members. The flat anvil and square throat distribute force evenly across the workpiece.
Suited for welders, fitters
Professionals who need maximum pressure in a compact frame will benefit from the 16,250 lb rating. Users requiring a swivel pad to protect finished surfaces or accommodate angled workpieces should consider a different clamp style. The fixed flat anvil limits use on rounded or irregular parts. Buyers needing lighter, more portable clamps for occasional use may find this model excessive.
16,250 lb clamping pressure rating
The single figure that determines fit for the job is the 16,250 lb clamping pressure. Verify that the workpiece, fixtures and surrounding structure can withstand this force without deformation. The 3-5/16 in maximum opening and 2-5/16 in throat depth define the physical envelope, but the pressure rating decides whether the tool matches the application.

Questions about this item
Will the 3 5/16 in maximum opening fit over the thick steel plates I already use?
The clamp opens to 3 5/16 in, so it will clear any workpiece thinner than that; measure your thickest plate to confirm.
How can I verify the 16250 lb clamping pressure is actually being applied?
Pressure is generated by tightening the steel spindle until the flat anvil contacts the work; resistance felt through the handle indicates full engagement.
Does the box include any swivel pads or just the clamp body?
The unit is a single forged-steel C-clamp with a fixed flat anvil; no swivel pads or accessories are included.
