Product Description
12", Jorgensen Heavy Duty Steel Bar Clamp.

Amazon.com Product Description
The Jorgensen 12-Inch Heavy-Duty Steel Bar Clamp has a 12-inch opening and 3-inch reach for your heavy-duty projects. Two clamp pads protect your work from damage, and the fixed head is pressed and riveted to help keep material in place. Steel internal tooth washers measuring 1-3/16 inches in diameter give the swivel more stay-on power, while the castings use hardened steel thrust bearings and malleable ductile iron castings for extra strength. High-carbon steel gives the plated bars added staying power, and the large maple handles keep your hands fresh. This clamp is backed by a 1-year limited warranty.

3 out of 5 stars Too bulky   February 1, 2007

I would not buy these again. They are to awkward and hard to tighten. Although they are very strong, they are just not easy to work with


4 out of 5 stars Great clamp. Threads too course   October 24, 2006

I bought a few of these clamps the other day. I removed the plastic pads immediately because I use separate scrap wood to prevent damage. I figured the plastic pads would not protect from the clamp digging into my work. I do not like the course threads as compared to the light duty 3712s. I can not get as tight of bond as I can with the light duty 3712s. Other than that, a great clamp.


5 out of 5 stars The Standard Bar Clamp   August 5, 2006
jorge soares fh (rio de janeiro, Brazil)
There is nothing more to say about Jorgensen bar clamps but do not just take my word and try one and you will see for yourself. They are the sturdiest and heavier clamps on the market. Simply excellent. My only complaint is that their wood handles could be at least a half inch larger in lenght but do not let it intimidate you. Best Buy.


3 out of 5 stars Good clamps but plastic pads stain the work   June 20, 2006
MikeInOhio (Lorain, OH United States)
I bought my clamps in December of 2005 and the oily plastic pad problem has not been fixed. The clamps are very nice otherwise. Just remember to protect your work from direct contact with the plastic pads.


4 out of 5 stars Great clamp but pads *do* stain   August 3, 2005

I bought a couple of these from amazon about a year ago. Service was great and I've used them many times. the 3" reach is nice and the clamping force is excellent.

Only small issue with these is you have to keep some scraps of wood around to use as clamp pads, the plastic ones definitely stain whatever they touch. Don't clamp them directly to your work unless you are going to paint it and don't care if it gets stained.
