6" Locking C-Clamp with Pads

The Palmgren 6" Locking C-Clamp with swivel pads combines compact clamping performance with improved surface protection. Designed for fabrication, repair, and woodworking applications, the swivel jaw pads help distribute pressure evenly while maintaining reliable holding force.

The Palmgren 70620 delivers the reliable holding power of a 6-inch locking C-clamp with the added benefit of integrated protective pads. This model is the smart choice when you need to clamp finished, painted, or polished surfaces without leaving marks, dents, or scratches.

The jaw pad design adapts to uneven surfaces and helps reduce concentrated pressure points that can mark or damage finished workpieces. This improves versatility across coated materials, precision components, and softer work surfaces.

The forged steel frame is engineered for durability and rigidity in confined workspaces. Its compact size allows improved maneuverability during assembly, welding, and maintenance operations where larger clamps may limit access. Large diameter rivets provide secure joints delivering durability & robust pliers

An adjustable lead screw design comes with a 1/4" hex key drive that allows operators to fine-tune clamping force for varying applications and material thicknesses. Once set, the locking system maintains stable holding pressure during operation.

Surface-Safe Protective Pads
The integrated pads distribute clamping force evenly and cushion the contact points, preventing damage to finished workpiece surfaces. This makes the 70620 an essential tool in automotive, woodworking, and precision fabrication applications.

6-Inch Jaw Capacity
The 6-inch opening is ideal for small to medium workpieces, fitting into tight spaces where larger clamps cannot reach. Its compact profile adds versatility for complex assemblies and detail work.

Precision Screw Adjustment
Control your clamping pressure with the precision screw mechanism. Set the pressure once for consistent results across multiple workpieces, reducing setup time on repetitive tasks.

One-Hand Release Trigger
The quick-release trigger allows one-handed opening, so you can reposition or remove the clamp without setting down your workpiece. This feature is especially useful during assembly sequences.

Hardened Steel Construction
The hardened steel body provides strength and durability for professional shop use, withstanding repeated clamping loads and exposure to heat and debris.

• Light fabrication and welding
• Precision woodworking
• Repair and maintenance work
• Fixture positioning
• Assembly and setup operations
• Clamping automotive body panels without marring paint or finish
• Electronics and precision assembly where surface integrity matters
• Welding pre-finished or coated components
• Hobby and craft projects requiring a gentle yet firm grip

Q: What's the difference between the 6" C-clamp (70600) and the 6" with pads (70620)?

A: The standard 6" C-clamp has hardened steel jaws; the version with pads includes protective pads to prevent surface damage on finished materials.

Q: Can I use the pads version for woodworking?

A: Yes. The pads are especially useful for clamping stained, varnished, or painted wood surfaces during glue-up and assembly.

Q: Are the protective pads replaceable?

A: The pads are integrated into the clamp and designed for long-term use. They withstand repeated clamping without needing replacement.

Q: Is the 6" with pads suitable for automotive work?

A: Absolutely. The pads protect clear-coated and painted surfaces, making it ideal for holding automotive panels, trim, and other finished parts during repair or assembly.

Q: How much clamping pressure can the 6" with pads deliver?

A: The screw-adjust mechanism provides controlled pressure suitable for most applications. The pads cushion force, making it especially good for delicate or finished surfaces.
