Overview
Eighty pounds and an 11 by 11 inch footprint put the Yost 480 clamp firmly in bench mounted, heavy duty territory. That weight class suits shops needing a stationary clamp anchored to a workbench for repeated heavy work, not a portable option to carry between jobs.
Beyond weight and footprint, Yost has not published jaw opening, throat depth, or clamping force for this listing, details that matter more than overall size when matching a clamp to a job. Buyers should confirm those figures directly and plan on professional mounting given the bulk involved.
- Yost brand, model 480
- Item weight about 80 pounds
- Footprint 11 x 11 inches
- Category: Tools, Clamps
Who it's for
Workshop owners and metalworkers who need a stationary clamp bolted to a bench for repeated heavy duty work. Not a fit for anyone wanting a lightweight clamp to move between jobs or job sites.
Pros and cons
- Substantial cast build resists flex under load
- Compact 11 by 11 inch footprint for its weight
- No jaw opening or clamping force listed
- Weight requires permanent bench mounting
Performance notes
At 80 pounds and 11 by 11 inches, the 480 is built to be bolted down and left in place, which gives it the rigidity to resist flex under heavy pressure. The listing does not include jaw opening or clamping force, so match those figures against the job before ordering.
