300 Amp C-Clamp Ground Cable – 5' Shorty Whip, LC-40 Male

The 300 Amp C-Clamp Ground Cable provides a secure mechanical grounding option for welding jobs where controlled clamping pressure is preferred. Its 1.5" opening gives you a solid connection to compatible workpieces, fixtures, and fabrication setups.

Built as part of the Arc-Zone Shorty™ system, this 5' whip uses #1 high-visibility orange UltraFlex welding cable and an LC-40 male connector. Connect it to your Shorty™ machine lead and change to another ground style whenever the job requires it.
