UD45 - Strong Hand UD45 4-in-1 Utility Sliding Arm Clamp, 4.5-Inch Capacity

Strong Hand UD45: The Ultimate 4-in-1 Utility Clamp

The Strong Hand UD45 Utility Clamp represents a significant evolution in manual clamping tools, designed to offer the versatility required by modern fabrication and assembly environments. Unlike static C-clamps that serve a single purpose, the UD45 is engineered as a dynamic 4-in-1 system. At its core, it functions as a high-speed sliding arm clamp, capable of setting up ten times faster than threaded alternatives. The sliding mechanism allows the user to position the jaw directly against the workpiece instantly, requiring only a final tightening turn to secure the load with up to 500 lbs of pressure.

What sets the UD45 apart is its modularity. The sliding arm is fully removable and reversible. By simply taking the arm off the rail and reinserting it in the opposite direction, the tool transforms into a Spreader Clamp, essential for pushing components apart or holding spacing during installation. Additionally, the fixed jaw features a tapped hole, a signature Strong Hand design element. This threaded port allows for the attachment of exclusive accessories, such as V-Pads, effectively converting the unit into a Pipe Clamp for secure holding of round or irregular stock. With the use of a riser block (not included), the clamp can also be configured for Step-Over applications, bridging lips or obstructions that would foul standard clamps.

Constructed from heat-treated steel and finished with a durable nickel/chrome plating, the UD45 is built to withstand the rigors of the workshop while resisting corrosion and weld spatter. The 4.5-inch capacity and 3-1/4 inch throat depth provide a generous working envelope for light-to-medium duty tasks in woodworking, metalworking, and general maintenance. This clamp is not just a tool; it is a multi-functional solution that reduces the number of specialized clamps required in a toolkit.
