TM972 - Irwin Vise-Grip 11SP Locking C-Clamp with Swivel Pads

Professional Grade Locking C-Clamp for Industrial Applications

The Irwin Vise-Grip 11" Locking C-Clamp with Swivel Pads is a fundamental tool for industrial assembly, welding, and maintenance operations. Engineered with the reliability that professionals expect from the Vise-Grip brand, this tool (Model 11SP) is designed to provide secure clamping force on a wide variety of shapes and materials. The unit features wide-opening jaws that allow for a significant jaw capacity of up to 4 inches, making it versatile enough to handle bulky workpieces that standard pliers cannot grip.

Constructed from high-grade, heat-treated alloy steel, this clamp is built to withstand the rigorous demands of heavy industrial environments. The material composition ensures maximum toughness and durability, resisting wear and deformation even under high tension. The defining feature of this model is its leveling swivel pads. Unlike fixed tips, these pads adjust to the angle of the workpiece, providing even pressure distribution. This is critical when working with soft materials, tapered surfaces, or awkward angles where a standard clamp might slip or mar the surface.

Operation is controlled via a hardened adjustment screw that allows the user to set the precise pressure required for the task. Once set, the clamp retains this adjustment for repetitive use, increasing efficiency in production line settings. The classic guarded trigger release mechanism allows for safe and easy unlocking, ensuring that the tool remains secure until the operator intentionally releases it. For MRO specialists and procurement officers, the Irwin Vise-Grip 11" C-Clamp represents a standard in locking tool technology, offering longevity and consistent performance.

Key Industrial Benefits:

• Durability: Heat-treated alloy steel construction ensures a long service life.
• Versatility: Swivel pads adapt to irregular shapes, reducing the need for multiple specialized clamps.
• Efficiency: 'Set and forget' pressure adjustment speeds up repetitive assembly tasks.
