The Best Things
Universal Clamp

For at least the last hundred years, cabinetmakers have relied on iron bar clamps. With the advent of aircraft grade aluminum, we feel those heavy clamps are obsolete. The aluminum bar clamps we offer here are made with the finest quality aircraft grade aluminum, making them extremely strong, without the cumbersome weight of iron clamps. If you need any more clamping force than these clamps can provide, you need to go back and fit your work better, or you will be setting up internal stresses that will cause problems down the road. All of these clamps are made by Universal Clamp Co. in California. The name Universal Clamp Co. is not as well known in the market as the traditional clamp makers, however, their quality is truly unparalleled. The founder of Universal Clamp Co. spent much of his career in the California aerospace industry, in fact at one time both he and our founder were working as engineers at the same company, Litton Industries. Trust us on this one, these are the best and most useful clamps that any cabinetmaker could own.
UC 900 Adjustable Bar Clamp Series

- Each size can accomodate work up to the specified length (i.e. a 24" clamp will handle a 24" piece of work).
- All clamps have a moveable pad with spring action that lock in any of the punched slots that run the length of the bar.
- The clamps will sit upright so that work can be placed on the clamp.
