4-Inch Ratcheting Handle F-Clamp

Quickly and easily secure woodworking and metal projects for glueing or welding with the SPEEDJAW 94065 4-Inch Ratcheting Handle F-Clamp! Built with both a time saving rolled steel friction arm and a ratcheting handle mechanism this clamp is easy to adjust and lock into place, operating 90% faster than a similar sized C-clamp. The durable cast aluminum jaws feature both a polyethylene (PE) plastic and a smooth steel swiveling jaw pad that are strong enough to hold onto metal projects while being able to squeeze gently enough to clamp wooden projects securely without making you feel you need to overtighten the jaws which can lead to compression damage on softer wood. The jaw faces can open to a maximum of 4.25-inches wide with a 3-inch throat depth to easily accomodate most small projects. A few quick adjustments of the ratcheting mechanism and you can exert up to 600-pounds of vise level clamping force to keep even the most unruly projects held tight. When the glue is dry or the welding is finished, a quick-release trigger on the ratcheting grip lets you quickly remove the clamp and move on to the next project. Perfect for do-it-yourselfers and hobbyists as well as professional carpenters, cabinet makers, woodworkers, and metalworkers.
