Overview

A special alloy steel frame carries the regular tip on this long locking clamp. The classic style pairs a screw adjustment with a lock, and the finish is silver.

The long frame reaches across wide work, and the steel is described as a special alloy. The listing shows two names for the product and gives no clamping force or throat depth.

Who it's for

Wide sheet, large frames and repair jobs where the work is far from the edge suit a long locking clamp. Small bench tasks are better served by a short clamp.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Long reach across wide work
  • Special alloy steel frame
Cons
  • Title and item type show different numbers
  • Throat depth not listed
  • Clamping force not stated
  • Heavy to carry

Performance notes

A long frame increases leverage but also flexes more under heavy load, so clamping force depends on the frame stiffness as well as the screw. The lock holds the setting once it is made. The listing gives no figure for force.
