Clamping force and capacity

The Wilton 5-FC is a drop-forged steel C-clamp built for high-pressure tasks. It delivers 800 lb of clamping force and is rated for 23800 lb of extra heavy-duty use. A 3 1/8 in throat depth and an extra-large pad area spread the load over a wider surface. Black oxide spindle finish resists corrosion and keeps operation smooth.

Suited for heavy pressing, not light work

This clamp suits metal fabrication, welding setups and structural assembly where maximum force matters. It is not for delicate woodworking, fine cabinetry or jobs needing a wide throat opening beyond the specified depth. Buyers who want quick-release action or a lighter tool should look elsewhere.

800 lb clamping force decides fit

The single figure that determines whether this is the right part is the 800 lb clamping pressure. If your application requires that level of sustained force, the 5-FC matches the requirement. If the job calls for significantly less or substantially more pressure, a different clamp class is appropriate.

Questions about this item

What throat depth does the 5-FC C-Clamp provide for reaching into a workpiece?

The clamp has a throat depth of 3 1/8 in, allowing it to reach past edges and flanges while maintaining full clamping pressure.

How do you secure the clamp without damaging the spindle threads?

Turn the black oxide spindle until the extra large pad contacts the work, then tighten firmly by hand; the corrosion-resistant finish keeps the threads moving smoothly.

When should the spindle or pad be replaced on this clamp?

Replace the spindle if the black oxide coating wears through and corrosion appears, or swap the pad when its surface no longer distributes the 800 lb load evenly.
