• Straight Jaw Profile – Wide and relatively short jaws clamp flat stock, L-angle, and sheet metal for welding or assembly; deep, sharp, regularly spaced teeth offer an evenly distributed grip on smooth, flat surfaces • Curved Jaw Profile – The curved section locks onto hex-shaped bolt heads, rounded-off nuts, pipes, and square tubing with the aggressive bite of deep, sharp teeth • Long Nose Profile – Designed to reach into tight spaces, the long, tapered straight section clamps flat stock, L-angle, and sheet metal in position for welding or assembly • C-Clamp Jaws – Fixed points apply direct pressure to clamped surfaces, secure small parts, and allow access to tight spaces where a swivel pad won't fit • Pull-to-Release Lever – Easily set, release, and reposition the tool with one hand and with more control than a traditional pinch-style lever
Tekton locking pliers and C-clamps are ideal for clamping and holding together a variety of materials including flat stock, L-angle, and sheet metal. Easily set, release, and reposition the clamp with one hand and with more control than a traditional pinch-style lever. The adjustment knob is knurled and round to provide grip for making adjustments even when you're wearing gloves or have slippery hands. Get extra leverage and fine-tune your clamping force by inserting a screwdriver or hex key into the through-hole to create a T-handle. Clamping force at the jaws directly depends on the strength and integrity of the clamp's three main rivets, which together make up the 4-point mechanical structure of the clamps. To make sure ours can withstand high shear forces, these rivets are made from tough 4135 chrome molybdenum steel. Before assembly, the individual jaw, handle, lever, and crossbar parts are shot-peened to create smooth, consistent surfaces. The final finish is a durable nickel plating that protects against corrosion.
