OVERVIEW

Get a Grip on Your Ground

Every welder knows that a good weld starts with a good ground. If your clamp is loose, worn out, or just plain cheap, you're going to fight your arc the whole time. The ESAB No. 21 Work Clamp is built to solve that problem. It’s a no-nonsense, tough-as-nails ground clamp designed to grab onto your workpiece and hold on tight. The strong spring action ensures that once you clamp it, it stays put, giving you the solid electrical connection you need to lay down smooth beads without sputtering or wandering arcs.

This clamp isn't just about holding on; it's about durability. Shop life is hard on gear—clamps get dropped, kicked, and covered in dust. ESAB has designed this unit to take a beating and keep on working. The jaws are designed to make good contact even on less-than-perfect surfaces, helping you get started faster without spending twenty minutes grinding a spot just to get your clamp to stick. It's the kind of reliable tool you toss in your bag or bolt to your lead and forget about because it just works.

Perfect for replacing that old, burnt-up clamp on your machine or building a new extension lead, the No. 21 is versatile and easy to install. Don't let a bad ground ruin your project or waste your time troubleshooting machine settings. Upgrade to a quality ESAB clamp and ensure your power is getting exactly where it needs to go—into the puddle.

A bad ground clamp causes high resistance, leading to an unstable arc, excessive spatter, loss of power, and potential overheating of the welding cable.

It is generally suitable for most standard arc welding processes like MIG, TIG, and Stick, provided the amperage is within the clamp's rating.

Typically, the cable is stripped and secured to the clamp using a bolt or lug connection point provided on the clamp body.

No, for a proper electrical connection, the clamp jaws must contact bare metal. Paint, rust, or grease should be removed from the clamping area.

'CD' typically stands for 'Carded', indicating the product comes in retail packaging suitable for display.

Spring tension ensures the jaws maintain firm contact with the workpiece, preventing arcing at the contact point which can damage the clamp and the work.
