Throat CM22","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Bessey CM22 light-duty drop forged C-clamp combines an expanded 0 to 2-1\/2 in. clamping capacity with a compact 1-3\/8 in. throat depth, making it ideal for holding materials where clamping clearance close to workpiece edges is required. Rated for up to 900 lbs. of clamping force, it supports light-duty welding, repair work, and general shop construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIts sturdy drop-forged steel body is treated with a bright galvanized finish for rust resistance. Drive tension is generated through a cold-drawn steel spindle with rolled threads, providing fluid actuation without thread stripping. A sliding steel T-bar handle allows quick repositioning to clear surrounding obstructions, while a free-moving swivel pad self-adjusts to maintain full face contact across varied workpiece angles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrop-Forged Steel Frame:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides rigid clamping power without body deflection under load.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBright Galvanized Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Protects against surface oxidation, wear, and shop environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRolled Thread Spindle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cold-drawn steel construction ensures effortless threading and long service life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelf-Aligning Swivel Pad:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adjusts dynamically to uneven surfaces for secure, non-slip pressure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSliding T-Bar Handle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Permits variable leverage and easily clears adjacent fixtures during tightening.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e900 lbs.
