De-sta-co 482 C-style Plier Clamp 1200 Lb Carbon Steel

Product Description

The DE-STA-CO 482 is a C-style plier clamp built for industrial holding and fixturing applications where consistent, repeatable clamping force is required. It delivers a 1200 lb (5337.87 N) load capacity through a carbon steel body with a red-handled grip and an M10x1.25 threaded spindle end. The 9.19-inch overall length and 2.56-inch throat depth make this a mid-range clamp suited for moderate workpiece clearance. A swivel foot spindle with nut is included, allowing the clamping end to seat flush against irregular or angled surfaces without marring the workpiece.

The 482 is used in manufacturing, welding, and assembly line setups where parts need to be held securely during machining, tack welding, or inspection. The C-style profile accommodates workpieces requiring a 4.06-inch open throat height, with a closed throat height of 1.70 inches. Machinists, fabricators, and fixture builders working in job shops and production environments are the primary installers of this clamp type.

Key Features

• 1200 lb (5337.87 N) rated load capacity for secure workholding
• C-style plier geometry for straightforward over-center locking
• M10x1.25 threaded spindle end for adjustable clamping depth
• Includes swivel foot spindle with nut for flush contact on uneven surfaces
• Carbon steel construction for durability in shop environments
• Red handle for quick visual identification on the workholding fixture

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use plier clamp for industrial fixturing and workholding setups requiring a C-style clamp with an M10x1.25 spindle thread.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or fixture builders using standard hand tools. Before adjusting or repositioning the clamp on a live fixture, ensure all associated machinery is powered down and in a safe state. The spindle should be threaded in or out to achieve proper clamping depth before locking the plier mechanism. Do not exceed the rated 1200 lb load capacity, as overloading can cause premature wear or clamp failure.
