OVERVIEW

Speed and Versatility for the Welding Shop

In the fast-paced world of welding and fabrication, time spent setting up clamps is time not spent welding. The Strong Hand UD45 Utility Clamp is the solution for fabricators who demand speed without sacrificing utility. This 4.5-inch capacity clamp utilizes a sliding arm design that eliminates the tedious spinning of C-clamp handles. You simply slide the jaw into place and tighten, achieving a secure hold in seconds. With 500 lbs of clamping pressure, it provides ample force for tacking assemblies, securing jigs, and holding sheet metal.

The "Utility" in its name refers to its incredible 4-in-1 capability, making it a true "third hand" in the shop.

  • Standard Clamping: Fast, secure holding for benchwork.
  • Pipe Clamping: The threaded hole in the jaw accepts V-Pad accessories, allowing you to grip pipes and tubing securely without slipping.
  • Spreading: Reverse the arm to turn the clamp into a spreader, perfect for aligning frames or pushing plates into position.
  • Step-Over Clamping: Adapt the clamp to reach over ridges and lips, ensuring you can clamp exactly where needed.

Durability is key in a welding environment, and the UD45 delivers with its heat-treated steel construction. The nickel/chrome plating ensures that the rail remains smooth and resistant to rust and spatter adhesion. Its compact size and 3-1/4 inch throat depth make it ideal for tight spaces where bulkier heavy-duty clamps cannot fit. Whether you are a professional welder, a mechanic, or a DIY enthusiast, the Strong Hand UD45 offers the professional-grade performance and adaptability needed to tackle any project with confidence.
