UM315 - Strong Hand Tools UM315 Regular Duty Utility Clamp, 31.5-Inch Capacity

Speed Up Fabrication with the UM315 Utility Clamp

In the fast-paced world of welding and fabrication, setup time is often the biggest bottleneck. The Strong Hand Tools UM315 is designed to eliminate that bottleneck. This Regular Duty Utility Clamp combines the strength of a traditional heavy-duty clamp with the speed and flexibility of a modern sliding arm design. With a generous 31-1/2 inch (800 mm) opening, this clamp is built to handle large weldments and oversized fabrication projects. It provides a secure hold with 2,400 lbs (1,089 kg) of clamping pressure, ensuring that your joint alignment remains precise while you tack and weld.

Why struggle with slow-threading C-clamps when you can set up 10 times faster? The sliding arm action of the UM315 allows you to slide the jaw into position instantly and tighten it down in seconds. This rapid-action capability is crucial for high-volume production environments or complex fit-ups where multiple clamps need to be positioned simultaneously. The clamp features a 5-1/2 inch (140 mm) throat depth, allowing you to apply pressure exactly where it is needed, deep into the assembly, rather than just at the edges.

The UM315 is more than just a clamp; it is a versatile fixturing tool. The removable and reversible arm allows you to adapt the tool to unique geometric challenges. If you need to push outward or reconfigure the clamp for a specific jig, the design accommodates it. Furthermore, the inclusion of a 3/8-16 (M10) tapped hole in the jaw opens up a world of possibilities. Welders can attach magnetic pads, V-blocks for pipe welding, or other Strong Hand accessories directly to the clamp, transforming it into a multi-functional fixture component.

Built to withstand the rigors of the welding environment, the UM315 features a sturdy steel rail (1-3/16 x 9/16 inches) that resists spatter and heat. To ensure operator comfort, it includes a FREE Ergonomic Comfort Handle that fits naturally in the hand, allowing for maximum torque application without discomfort. Whether you are fabricating structural steel, assembling chassis components, or performing general repair work, the Strong Hand Tools UM315 Utility Clamp provides the reach, power, and adaptability to get the job done right and on time.
