When it comes to welding fixtures and jigs, the clamp you choose can make the difference between a perfect square fit and a rejected part. The Strong Hand Tools PW1R 11-Inch Locking C-Clamp is engineered to deliver reliable performance for welders who demand consistency. This tool is part of the essential lineup of locking pliers that every welder keeps within arm's reach. Its robust construction minimizes flexing under load, ensuring that the pressure you apply is the pressure that is maintained throughout the welding process.
The PW1R is distinguished by its deep throat and wide opening. The 3-1/4 inch throat depth provides ample clearance for clamping around flanges, lips, or bulky channel sections. The 4-inch jaw capacity makes it versatile enough to handle medium-to-heavy duty fabrication tasks. The tips are fixed and round, designed to bite into the metal securely, preventing slippage even when subjected to the vibrations of grinding or the thermal expansion caused by welding heat. The nickel-plated finish offers excellent resistance to corrosion and makes cleaning off weld spatter significantly easier compared to black oxide finishes.
Ergonomics and functionality go hand-in-hand with the PW1R. The classic trigger release is intuitive and reliable, preventing accidental releases while ensuring the tool opens smoothly when intended. For applications requiring extreme clamping force, the adjustment screw's torque hole is a simple yet effective feature, allowing you to leverage a standard tool to tighten the clamp beyond what manual grip strength allows. Whether you are fitting pipes, assembling frames, or holding sheet metal for tacking, the Strong Hand PW1R provides the third hand you need to work safely and efficiently.
