Product Description
8" Locking Sheet Metal Clamp — Lock It Down, Work With Confidence
Shifting panels and slipping clamps slow down every weld, bend, and fabrication job. The POWERTEC 72440 Locking Sheet Metal Clamp gives welders, fabricators, and metalworkers a fast, stable grip with wide flat jaws that spread pressure evenly across the workpiece — so seams stay aligned and hands stay free.
Built from heat-treated chromium steel and finished in nickel plating for corrosion resistance, this pair of clamps is engineered for real shop conditions. Use them to align sheet metal panels, hold welded seams steady, or secure material for bending and forming — a dependable upgrade over standard vise grips for automotive, HVAC, and general fabrication work.
Key Features & Benefits
Heavy-Duty Chromium Steel Jaws
- Heat-treated chromium steel jaws resist deformation and hold their shape under repeated pressure.
- Built for demanding welding, fabrication, and automotive environments where a weak grip means a ruined workpiece.
Wide Flat Jaw Clamping Design
- 3-1/8" wide flat jaws spread pressure evenly, preventing the dents and marks a narrow-point clamp can leave behind.
- Ideal for bending, forming, flattening, crimping, and aligning sheet metal panels before and during welding.
Adjustable Locking Pressure
- Built-in adjustment screw lets you dial in the exact clamping distance for your material.
- Secures steel plates and sheet metal from approximately 13/32" to 1-3/16" (10–30mm) thick, so one tool handles multiple jobs.
Quick Lock & Release Mechanism
- One-handed locking action clamps the workpiece instantly, freeing your other hand for the weld or tool.
- Easy-release trigger pops the jaws open fast, keeping repetitive fabrication tasks moving without a fight.
2-Pack Professional Metalworking Set
- Includes two 8" locking clamps with a nickel-plated finish built to resist shop corrosion.
- Approximately 2" maximum jaw opening and 7/8" jaw depth cover a wide range of clamping tasks in one set.
