Forney Industries Inc 70217 Locking C-clamp 11 Inches

Product Description

The FORNEY INDUSTRIES INC 70217 is an 11-inch locking C-clamp with a cushion grip handle, designed to hold workpieces securely during welding, fabrication, and metalworking operations. The locking mechanism allows technicians to set clamping pressure and release both hands for positioning or tacking work. The cushion grip reduces hand fatigue during extended use. This clamp is a standard hand tool used by welders, pipefitters, and fabricators in shop and field environments.

This clamp fits typical applications in metal fabrication shops, welding booths, and structural assembly work. The 11-inch jaw capacity makes it suitable for clamping heavier stock, pipe, angle iron, and plate material where a standard C-clamp would require constant manual pressure. It is sold in a package quantity of 12 units, making it practical for outfitting a shop or restocking a tool crib.

Key Features

• 11-inch locking C-clamp with adjustable clamping pressure
• Cushion grip handle for reduced hand fatigue during extended use
• Locking mechanism frees both hands once clamp is set
• Sold in a package quantity of 12 units
• Suitable for welding, fabrication, and structural assembly tasks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose locking C-clamp for use in metal fabrication, welding, and industrial assembly applications where an 11-inch jaw capacity is required.

Installation Notes

Inspect the clamp screw and locking mechanism before each use to confirm smooth operation and no visible damage. Set clamping pressure gradually to avoid marring finished surfaces or distorting thin stock. When used in welding applications, ensure the clamp is positioned clear of the weld zone to prevent arc flash contact or heat damage to the grip.
