OVERVIEW

The Industry Standard for Locking Clamps

The Irwin Vise-Grip 11R Locking C-Clamp with Regular Tips is a fundamental tool for maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) professionals. Known globally as the "Original" locking tool, the Vise-Grip brand has set the benchmark for durability and reliability in industrial environments. The 11R model features an 11-inch length and a substantial jaw capacity of up to 4 inches, allowing it to span large workpieces or reach over obstructions that standard pliers cannot accommodate. This versatility makes it an essential component in any professional toolbox, capable of performing as a clamp, a pipe wrench, or a portable vise depending on the immediate requirement.

Constructed from high-grade, heat-treated alloy steel, the 11R is engineered for maximum toughness. In industrial settings where tools are subjected to high stress, impact, and wear, the superior metallurgy of the Vise-Grip ensures a long service life. The tool features the classic trigger release mechanism, which is designed to provide maximum locking force while ensuring the tool stays locked until the user intentionally releases it. This safety and stability are critical when holding parts for machining, gluing, or assembly, ensuring that the workpiece remains stationary without constant manual pressure.

Precision is key in the design of the 11R. The adjustment screw allows the user to fine-tune the jaw pressure to fit the specific work, and once set, it remains adjusted for repetitive use. This feature is particularly beneficial for assembly lines or batch processing where multiple identical parts need to be clamped in succession. The screw also features a hex key receiver, allowing users to apply additional torque for an even tighter grip when necessary. Whether used for automotive repair, general construction, or facility maintenance, the Irwin Vise-Grip 11R delivers the performance and durability expected by trade professionals.

FAQ

The Irwin Vise-Grip 11R has a jaw capacity of approximately 4 inches (102mm), allowing it to clamp a wide range of material sizes.

The 11R model features regular, fixed tips. If you require swivel pads to prevent marring soft surfaces, you would look for the 11SP model.

Yes, the 11R is constructed from heat-treated alloy steel and is widely used in welding. However, direct exposure to the welding arc should be minimized to prevent damage to the mechanism.

Pressure is adjusted by turning the screw at the base of the handle. Clockwise increases pressure, while counter-clockwise decreases it. The screw also accepts a hex key for extra torque.

Irwin Vise-Grip tools typically carry a lifetime guarantee against defects in material and workmanship, subject to the manufacturer's terms.

The throat depth is approximately 2-5/8 inches, providing ample reach for clamping around obstacles.

No, the 11R Locking C-Clamp does not include a wire cutter. It is designed purely for clamping and holding.

The 11R uses the classic trigger release. You simply pull the small lever inside the lower handle to disengage the lock instantly.
