Product Information

Full details

The Facom 504A Locking C Clamp Pliers are essential for professional welders and mechanical technicians who require a reliable, hands-free method to secure workpieces. Engineered for durability, these pliers feature light alloy spatter-proof jaws and a robust steel body, making them perfect for handling shaped or angled sections. While their 280mm length offers significant leverage, users should note that the manual screw adjustment requires periodic manual setting changes when switching between materials of vastly different thicknesses.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum jaw opening capacity?

The Facom 504A has a maximum capacity of 100mm.

Are the jaws magnetic?

The jaws are made from a light alloy to resist spatter; therefore, they are not typically magnetic.

How long is the tool?

The tool has an overall length of 280mm.

Can I use these for wood clamping?

While intended for welding and mechanical work, they can be used for wood, but be aware that the aggressive gripping surface may leave impressions on soft materials.

Does the chrome finish wear off?

The chrome finish is durable, but like any tool, it may show signs of wear or scratching depending on the intensity and abrasiveness of the work environment.

Troubleshooting

Locking lever is too difficult to engage

Back off the adjustment screw slightly to decrease initial clamping pressure, then re-adjust once engaged.

The jaw adjustment screw feels stuck

Clean the threads of the adjustment screw with a wire brush and apply a small amount of penetrating oil.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Resistant to welding spatter due to light alloy jaws
  • Sturdy steel construction ensures long-term reliability
  • Provides secure, hands-free clamping for precise work
  • Versatile capacity of 100mm for diverse project sizes

Cons

  • Manual screw adjustment can be slower than quick-release mechanisms
  • Total weight of 655g may cause fatigue during prolonged overhead use
  • Requires manual recalibration for varying material thicknesses

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the tool, open the jaws fully using the hand-screw at the end of the handle. Place the object between the jaws and tighten the screw until the desired clamping pressure is met before locking the lever.

Compatibility: The 504A is compatible with most standard steel sections, channels, and angular profiles up to 100mm.

Care Instructions:

  • Keep the adjustment screw clean and lightly lubricated with a light machine oil to prevent seizing.
  • After welding, lightly brush off any residual slag or spatter that may have adhered to the alloy jaws.
  • Store in a dry environment to maintain the chrome finish and prevent surface oxidation.
