A C-clamp, specifically an "All Steel Deep Throat Type," is a type of clamp commonly used in woodworking, metalworking, and other applications where a secure grip is needed.
The term "C-clamp" refers to its shape, which resembles the letter "C." It consists of a stationary arm (also known as the "back" or "fixed" jaw) and a sliding arm (also known as the "screw" or "movable" jaw) that can be adjusted to clamp objects of various sizes. The two arms are connected by a threaded screw mechanism, which is turned to apply pressure and secure the clamp.
The "Deep Throat" feature in an all-steel C-clamp refers to the increased depth or reach of the jaws. This design allows the clamp to grip objects that are thicker or have a larger width. Deep throat C-clamps are useful when you need to clamp materials that extend beyond the reach of standard C-clamps. For example, they can be used to hold large workpieces, pipe assemblies, or irregularly shaped objects securely.
The term "All Steel" indicates that the clamp is made entirely of steel, including the frame, arms, and screw mechanism. This construction provides strength and durability, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications.
Overall, an All Steel Deep Throat C-clamp is a robust and versatile tool commonly used in various industries and DIY projects for securely holding objects in place during cutting, drilling, gluing, welding, or other tasks that require stability and a firm grip.

The clamp is constructed with the I beam design for extra strength.
The C clamp is sometimes even referred to as the G-clamp because, when the screw is included, the clamp seems to look like the letter “G”. The clamp does indeed share similarities with these letters of the alphabet, but the C clamp was originally known as a Carriage Clamp, and the word “Carriage” has simply been shortened to just the letter “C”.
A C-clamp is made up of several different parts that enable it to hold the workpieces securely, including:The Frame: The frame of the C-clamp is also referred to as the body. It is the main part of the clamp and therefore, it takes up the majority of the clamp’s area. The main purpose of the frame is to endure the pressure that is placed upon the workpiece while the clamp is being used.
The Jaws: The jaws of the C-clamp are the parts that do the actual gripping of the workpiece to hold the pieces together. The jaws of the C-clamp stand opposite one another, as one is stationary while the other jaw is moveable. This moveable jaw, which has a metal clamping plate, is adjusted using the screw so it can clamp workpieces of different sizes.
