UE125 - Strong Hand Tools Light Duty Utility F-Clamp 12.5 Inch Capacity

Strong Hand Tools UE125 Utility Clamp: Efficiency in Fabrication

The Strong Hand Tools UE125 Utility Clamp is engineered to streamline the workflow of welders, fabricators, and woodworkers who require reliable holding power without the slow operation of traditional tooling. As part of the Light Duty Utility Clamp series, the UE125 bridges the gap between heavy-duty industrial clamps and standard consumer-grade tools. It features a substantial 12.5-inch clamping capacity, making it suitable for a wide variety of medium-sized projects, from assembling frames to securing components for tack welding. The 4-inch throat depth ensures that users can reach over obstructions and apply pressure exactly where it is needed on the workpiece.

One of the standout features of this clamp is its speed. Designed to set up 10 times faster than a standard C-clamp, the UE125 utilizes a sliding arm mechanism that allows the user to quickly position the jaw against the workpiece before tightening. This rapid-action design significantly reduces downtime spent on fixturing, allowing professionals to focus more on the actual fabrication process. Despite its speed and ease of use, it does not compromise on strength for its class, delivering a clamping pressure of 850 lbs. This makes it robust enough to hold steel components securely during fit-up and light welding operations.

Versatility is central to the design of the UE125. The clamp arm is both removable and reversible. This unique functionality allows the user to slide the arm off the rail and reverse it, which can be useful in specific setups where the handle needs to be positioned away from the work area or for spreading applications. Additionally, the clamp includes a 3/8-16 tapped hole, providing a mounting point for optional accessories such as V-pads or extenders, further expanding its utility in the shop. Weighing only 2.5 lbs, it is lightweight enough to be easily maneuvered and transported, yet durable enough to withstand the rigors of a workshop environment.

Constructed with a rail size of 25/32 x 3/8 inches, the UE125 maintains rigidity under load. Whether you are a professional welder looking for a faster way to fixture parts or a hobbyist seeking a high-quality clamp for your garage, the Strong Hand Tools UE125 offers a perfect balance of capacity, pressure, and speed.
