Ductile Iron C-Clamp provides strong holding capacity for industrial, metalworking, and woodworking applications. Cast from high-tensile ductile iron, it offers approximately double the strength of comparable malleable iron clamps to prevent frame twisting or deformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEquipped with a hardened cold-drawn steel spindle and ACME threads, the clamp opens and closes smoothly under pressure. A black oxide finish guards the spindle and pad against corrosion. A built-in swiveling pressure pad compensates for surface irregularities across workpieces, while the sliding steel T-bar handle allows adaptable hand placement in restricted spots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDuctile Iron Casting:\u003c\/strong\u003e High yield-strength frame material prevents bending under heavy clamping forces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2,250 lb Clamping Force:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides strong, reliable clamping for fabrication and assembly applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eACME Thread Spindle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardened steel spindle provides smooth, fast thread movement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlack Oxide Protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Corrosion-resistant finish protects threads and swivel pad from shop debris and moisture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwivel Pad Alignment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Automatically adjusts to non-parallel stock for secure pressure contact.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSliding T-Bar Handle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Steel handle shifts easily to deliver maximum turning force in confined areas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e(1) BESSEY 540-5 5 in.
