Overview:

The Silverline Heavy Metal G-Clamp range (VC22 50mm or VC26 150mm) is a tough, dependable clamping solution for workshop, site and fabrication tasks. Manufactured with a heavy duty cast iron frame and a fine thread screw, it provides controlled tightening and a secure hold for assembly, drilling, gluing and general fitting work. A tommy bar handle makes it easy to apply pressure, while the swivel shoe and ball-and-socket head improve contact on uneven or irregular surfaces. The copper-plated thread helps prevent weld spatter from sticking, making it a useful option for metalworking and welding environments.
