UG1257 - Strong Hand Tools UG1257 Utility Clamp, 12.5-Inch Capacity, 7-Inch Throat

Precision and Power: Strong Hand UG1257 Utility Clamp

Maximize your fabrication efficiency with the Strong Hand Tools UG1257, a utility F-clamp designed to act as an extra set of hands in the shop. In the world of welding, setup time often dictates profitability, and the UG1257 is built to speed up that process without sacrificing hold quality. This model boasts a generous 12.5-inch opening and a specifically designed 7-inch throat depth, making it ideal for clamping over obstacles or securing wide assemblies that require deep reach. Delivering a massive 2,400 lbs of clamping force, it provides the secure hold needed for precision tacking and full-penetration welds.

The genius of the Strong Hand design lies in its modularity. The UG1257 is part of the "Utility Clamp" family, meaning it is not just a static tool. The sliding arm is fully reversible, allowing you to convert the unit into a spreader for pushing apart framework or leveling heavy plates. Furthermore, the clamp is equipped with a tapped hole (3/8"-16) on the jaw, which opens the door to the 4-in-1 Accessory Pack system. While this unit comes as a standard clamp, you can easily upgrade it later with V-Pads for pipe welding or extender blocks for step-over clamping, making it a future-proof investment for your toolbox.

Durability is non-negotiable in welding, and the UG1257 delivers. The rail is manufactured from heat-treated steel to prevent bowing, while the heavy-duty pad ensures solid contact with the workpiece. The ergonomic handle allows for high-torque tightening with minimal hand fatigue, a crucial feature during long shifts. Whether you are working on structural steel, automotive frames, or custom furniture, the Strong Hand UG1257 offers the reach, power, and flexibility to get the job done right the first time.
