F-clamp YATO YT-6401, chrome finish, PVC and steel, depth 80 mm, height 160 mm

YATO YT-6401 is an F-clamp with a chrome finish that combines a steel body with PVC-coated contact surfaces to protect workpieces while providing reliable clamping force. With a throat depth of 80 mm and a maximum opening height of 160 mm, this clamp is designed to hold parts securely during gluing, assembly and light metalworking or woodworking tasks. Its simple, robust construction makes it suitable for workshop and DIY environments where repeatable positioning and steady pressure are required.

Advantages

The chrome-plated steel frame ensures structural rigidity and corrosion resistance for regular workshop use. PVC-coated jaws reduce the risk of marring or scratching finished surfaces while maintaining grip. The F-clamp design delivers even, fixed pressure across the clamped area and allows for quick positioning and tightening. Compact dimensions provide a balance between reach and control, making the clamp convenient to use in confined spaces or on benches.

Suitable for

• Holding panels and parts during glue-ups in woodworking
• Positioning and securing components for light metalworking and assembly
• Fixture support for repairs and DIY projects in a home workshop
• Clamping small to medium-sized workpieces where surface protection is needed

Key specifications

• Frame material: chrome-plated steel for strength and corrosion resistance
• Jaw coating: PVC contact surfaces to protect workpiece finish
• Throat depth: 80 mm for moderate reach from the clamp edge
• Maximum opening/height: 160 mm to accommodate a variety of material thicknesses
• F-clamp style for even pressure distribution and easy adjustment

How to use

Position the clamp so the PVC-coated jaws contact the workpiece where pressure is needed, ensuring the throat depth provides adequate reach. Slide the movable jaw along the bar to set a close initial position, then tighten the screw mechanism until the desired clamping pressure is achieved. Avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to delicate materials. To release, turn the screw counterclockwise and slide the movable jaw away from the workpiece.

Usage recommendations

Use the clamp on clean contact surfaces and avoid applying excessive torque. For delicate finishes, consider using additional protective pads between the PVC jaw and the workpiece. Store in a dry environment to preserve the chrome finish and periodically check moving parts for smooth operation.
