18" Locking C-Clamp with Pads
71825
Product ID 71825 Product Name 18" Locking C-Clamp with Pads UPC 726896718255 GTIN 10726896718252 Product Copy Secure Clamping with Surface Protection The Palmgren 18" Locking C-Clamp with pads is engineered for applications requiring both high holding force and reduced surface marking. The jaw pads distribute pressure more evenly across the workpiece while maintaining stable clamping performance during fabrication, woodworking, and assembly operations. Pad Jaw Design Integrated pads improve contact across uneven surfaces while helping reduce concentrated pressure points that can damage finished materials. This makes the clamp well suited for applications involving coated, polished, or precision-machined surfaces. Forged Steel Durability Constructed from heavy-duty forged steel, the clamp frame is designed to withstand repeated tightening cycles and demanding shop conditions. The rigid body construction helps maintain alignment and consistent holding force under load. Large diameter rivets provide secure joints delivering durable and robust pliers. Adjustable Locking Performance The lead screw adjustment mechanism with 1/4" hex key drive allows precise pressure control based on material thickness and application requirements. Once adjusted, the locking system maintains repeatable clamping performance throughout extended operations. Application Advantages Reduces surface marking on finished materials Maintains secure hold during welding and fabrication Provides stable pressure distribution across workpieces Supports woodworking, repair, and assembly tasks Designed for repeated industrial use Heavy-Duty Clamping That Protects Your Workpiece The Palmgren 71825 combines the powerful grip of an 18-inch locking C-clamp with the added protection of integrated clamping pads. This surface-safe design is built for professionals who need heavy clamping force without risking damage to finished, painted, or polished workpiece surfaces. Key Benefits Protective Pads for Surface-Safe Clamping The integrated pads distribute clamping pressure evenly and prevent marring, scratching, or denting on delicate or finished surfaces. This makes the 71825 the right choice when workpiece appearance matters. 18-Inch Jaw Capacity With an 18-inch opening, this clamp handles large panels, assemblies, and thick stock that smaller clamps cannot accommodate. The wide reach makes it invaluable for large-scale fabrication and assembly work. Precision Locking Screw Adjustment Set your clamping pressure precisely with the screw adjustment mechanism. Once locked, the clamp holds firm without shifting, ensuring consistent results across repeated operations. One-Hand Release Trigger Reposition the clamp quickly and efficiently with the single-hand release trigger. This ergonomic feature reduces fatigue and streamlines workflow during high-volume clamping tasks. Hardened Steel Construction The hardened steel body withstands the rigors of professional shop use, resisting wear, deformation, and the heat exposure common in welding and fabrication environments. Common Applications Clamping finished or painted metal panels without marring Woodworking and cabinetry where surface protection is critical Welding assemblies with pre-finished components Holding large workpieces during machining or grinding Automotive body fabrication and restoration Palmgren 71825 vs. 71800: Which Should You Choose? Both models share the same 18-inch jaw capacity and hardened steel construction. The 71825 adds protective pads, making it the better choice when working with finished surfaces or materials that are prone to marking. Choose the 71800 when surface protection is not a concern.
