Heavy-Duty E-Z Hold Expandable Clamp – Model 33718 – This clamp from Jorgensen is designed for tasks requiring long reach and relentless clamping force. With an 18-inch length and a massive 600-pound clamping force, this model delivers superior industrial performance for handling large workpieces that require secure, one-handed fastening.
Professional Features and Benefits:
-
Powerful Performance (600 lbs): This clamp provides twice the clamping force of mid-range categories, making it the primary choice for securing hardwoods and structures that demand professional clamping strength.
-
Exclusive Joining Technology: The E-Z HOLD system allows you to join two clamps together for an extra-long clamping capacity, giving you superior flexibility in the workshop without the need for additional bulky equipment.
-
Advanced Grip Lever Design: The trigger mechanism is designed to apply immense pressure smoothly and with just one hand, making it easier for you to balance large pieces during clamping.
-
Quick Conversion to Spreader: The clamp can be converted into an outward spreader tool in seconds, ideal for breaking apart old joints or precisely spreading heavy structures.
-
Engineered for Impact: Equipped with a long, heat-treated steel bar to resist bending under high pressure, with deep jaw pads that protect sensitive surfaces from damage.
