3500 lb C-Clamp capacity

The Wilton 402-P is a forged-steel C-clamp rated for 3500 lb clamping force. Its V-grooved jaw with a copper-plated spindle accepts round or flat workpieces up to 2 1/4 in. A sliding T-handle provides the leverage needed for heavy tightening jobs in metal fabrication and welding setups.

Welders and metalworkers vs woodworkers

This clamp suits welders and metal fabricators who need spatter-resistant powder coating and a copper-plated spindle that resists weld splatter. Woodworkers or general DIY users who prefer lighter clamps with larger throat depths for wide panels should look at other styles.

2 1/4 in maximum jaw opening

The decisive specification is the 2 1/4 in maximum jaw opening combined with a matching 2 1/4 in throat depth. If your workpiece exceeds that opening or requires deeper reach, this clamp will not fit the application.

Questions about this item

What clamping force does the 3500 lb rating cap in practice?

The forged steel body and copper plated spindle deliver a maximum clamping force of 3500 lb when the sliding T handle is fully tightened.

What physical clearance does the 2 1/4 in throat depth and jaw opening need to fit a workpiece?

The clamp requires at least 2 1/4 in of throat depth and can open up to 2 1/4 in between the V grooved jaw and swivel pad.

How is the sliding T handle installed and what step do people get wrong?

Thread the copper plated spindle into the forged body until the V grooved jaw contacts the work, then turn the sliding T handle clockwise; the common error is stopping before the swivel pad seats flat.
