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

Heavy-Duty Versatility with the Strong Hand UG1257

The Strong Hand Tools UG1257 Utility Clamp is a cornerstone tool for professional welders and fabricators requiring robust holding power and exceptional versatility. Engineered to meet the rigorous demands of industrial environments, this Regular Duty clamp offers a substantial 12.5-inch (318mm) clamping capacity paired with a deep 7-inch (178mm) throat. This extended throat depth allows users to reach further into workpieces, securing materials that standard clamps simply cannot grasp. With a clamping pressure rating of 2,400 lbs (1,080 kg), the UG1257 ensures that your heavy metal components remain immovable during welding, cutting, or grinding operations.

What sets the Strong Hand Utility Clamp series apart is its adaptability. The UG1257 features a removable and reversible arm mechanism. By simply sliding the arm off the rail and reversing it, the tool transforms from a clamp into a powerful spreader, adding a layer of functionality that eliminates the need for separate spreading tools in many scenarios. The rail itself is crafted from heat-treated steel, measuring 1-3/16" x 5/8", providing a rigid backbone that resists bending under high loads. The nickel and chrome plating offers superior resistance to weld spatter and corrosion, ensuring the tool maintains its smooth operation over years of use.

Integration with the broader Strong Hand ecosystem is seamless. The clamp arm includes a 3/8"-16 tapped hole, allowing professionals to attach various accessories such as V-Pads or Extender Blocks (sold separately) to customize the clamp for specific jobs, such as holding round pipes or angled stock. Whether you are setting up a complex jig or performing a quick repair, the UG1257 provides the reliability and strength necessary to produce high-quality work efficiently.
