EMTOP F Clamp 120x500mm 450kg Force ECLPF12301

Glue-ups, jigs and welding set-ups all need a clamp with real reach, and 500mm covers most panel and frame work. The EMTOP ECLPF12301 is a plastic-handled F clamp for carpenters, joiners, metal fabricators and site crews holding work while it is fixed.

Capacity is 120mm deep by 500mm along the bar, so a wide board can be gripped well in from its edge rather than only at the corner. The sliding bar measures 8mm thick by 30mm wide, a section stiff enough to resist springing open as pressure builds, and the screw thread is 15.3mm in diameter. Maximum clamping force is 450kg, enough to close a glued joint tight or to hold steel section firmly for tacking.

Typical uses include holding boards while adhesive cures, clamping frames square during assembly, securing workpieces to a bench for cutting or routing, holding steel for welding, and fixing formwork and temporary supports. Buying clamps in pairs is usually the right approach, since a joint held at one point alone tends to twist as the screw is tightened.
