UP245 - Strong Hand Tools UP245 Utility F-Clamp, 24.5-Inch Capacity, 4800 lb Pressure

Heavy-Duty Utility Clamping Solution

The Strong Hand Tools UP245 Utility F-Clamp is engineered for professional fabricators who require robust holding power and extended reach. With a substantial clamping capacity of 24.5 inches and a deep 7-inch throat, this tool is designed to bridge the gap between standard clamps and specialized heavy-duty fixtures. The clamp is built around a durable 1-3/16 inch by 9/16 inch rail, ensuring rigidity and resistance to bending under load.

One of the standout features of the UP245 is its impressive clamping pressure. Capable of exerting up to 4,800 lbs of force, it ensures that workpieces remain securely immobile during welding, grinding, or assembly processes. The inclusion of a 3/8-16 tapped hole adds a layer of versatility, allowing users to attach various accessories or fixtures directly to the clamp, thereby expanding its utility in complex setups.

Weighing in at 16.5 lbs, this clamp offers the mass and stability needed for industrial environments without being unmanageable. The heavy-duty pads provided with the unit are designed to withstand the rigors of the workshop while protecting the workpiece surface. Whether used in structural steel fabrication or general maintenance, the UP245 delivers reliable performance.

Technical Specifications

The UP245 is defined by its capacity to handle large jobs with precision. The rail geometry is optimized for strength, while the sliding arm mechanism allows for quick adjustments. The deep throat depth is particularly beneficial for reaching over obstructions or clamping materials further from the edge, a common requirement in diverse welding scenarios.
