UE85 - Strong Hand Tools Utility Clamp 8.5-Inch Capacity 850lb Pressure

Versatile Light and Medium Duty Clamping Solution

The Strong Hand Tools UE85 Utility Clamp is engineered to provide professional fabricators and welders with a reliable, flexible, and efficient clamping tool. Designed for light to medium-duty applications, this clamp features a robust sliding arm mechanism that allows for rapid adjustment and secure locking. With a clamping capacity of 8.5 inches (216mm) and a throat depth of 3.25 inches (83mm), it offers ample reach for a wide variety of workpieces, from small brackets to medium-sized assemblies.

Dual-Function Design

One of the standout features of the UE85 is its ability to transform from a standard clamp into a spreader. The sliding arm can be completely removed and reversed, allowing the user to apply outward pressure. This functionality is essential for leveling, aligning, and holding parts in position where external clamping is not feasible. This 2-in-1 capability reduces the number of tools required at the workstation, streamlining operations and saving valuable space.

Precision and Durability

Constructed with a heat-treated steel rail measuring 19mm by 9.5mm, the UE85 is built to withstand the rigors of the industrial environment while maintaining a lightweight profile of approximately 0.6 kg. The clamp delivers up to 850 lbs (386 kg) of clamping pressure, ensuring that workpieces remain firmly in place during tacking and welding. The inclusion of a spring stop allows the sliding arm to move freely when disengaged but lock instantly under load, providing both speed and security.

Accessory Compatibility

To further enhance its utility, the UE85 includes an M8 tapped hole on the bottom jaw. This feature allows users to attach various accessories, such as V-pads or extenders, customizing the clamp to specific job requirements. Whether used in a professional welding shop, a maintenance department, or a home garage, the Strong Hand Tools UE85 Utility Clamp delivers the performance and adaptability needed for high-quality fabrication work.
