Wilton 22001 C-clamp 2.5 Inch Jaw 540A Series

Product Description

The WILTON 22001 is a 540A Series C-clamp designed for clamping, holding, and securing workpieces during fabrication, welding, and general mechanical work. It provides a jaw opening range of 0 to 2-1/2 inches and a throat depth of 1-3/4 inches, making it well suited for light-duty to medium-duty holding tasks. Weighing 1 pound, the clamp is compact enough for one-hand positioning while still delivering the clamping force required for trade and shop applications. Machinists, welders, pipefitters, and general maintenance technicians commonly keep this size on hand for its versatility across bench work and field tasks.

The WILTON 22001 fits residential and commercial applications wherever a reliable, standard C-clamp is needed. Typical use cases include holding pipe sections during fitting, securing stock to a workbench or drill press, and clamping assemblies during adhesive cure or tack welding. The 2-1/2 inch jaw opening accommodates a wide range of material thicknesses, and the 1-3/4 inch throat depth allows clearance for most standard stock and structural profiles encountered in trade work.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard C-clamp replacement or addition to tool inventory in fabrication, welding, plumbing, and general mechanical service applications where a 2-1/2 inch jaw opening is required.

Installation Notes

C-clamps require no installation but should be inspected before each use for cracks, thread damage, or a bent frame. Always ensure the swivel pad is seated properly against the workpiece to distribute clamping load evenly and prevent surface damage. Do not use a pipe extension or cheater bar on the screw handle, as this can strip threads or crack the frame. For welding applications, ground the work separately from the clamp to avoid arc damage to the screw threads.
