Irwin 1964746 Bar Clamp 4.5 in 35 Lb Clamping Pressure

Product Description

The IRWIN 1964746 is a bar clamp designed for securing workpieces during assembly, gluing, and fabrication tasks. It delivers up to 35 pounds of clamping pressure across a maximum capacity of 4.5 inches, making it suited for light-duty joinery, trim work, and general shop or jobsite use. The overall length measures 8 inches, and the throat depth reaches 1.1875 inches, giving enough clearance for typical edge and face clamping applications. Trades workers, carpenters, and general contractors keep bar clamps like this on hand for fast, repeatable clamping without a bench vise.

This bar clamp fits residential and commercial applications where a compact, single-handed clamp is needed. Typical scenarios include cabinet installation, door and window trim, light woodworking, and temporary part fixturing during fastener installation. Its compact 8-inch length makes it practical in tight spaces where larger clamps are unwieldy. It is sold individually, making it easy to add to an existing clamp set.

Installation Notes

Bar clamps require no installation in the traditional sense, but proper use matters for safe results. Always confirm the clamp jaw is fully seated and square to the workpiece before applying pressure to avoid slippage or marring the surface. Use jaw pads or scrap material between the clamp and finished surfaces to prevent damage. Do not exceed the rated 35-pound clamping pressure, and inspect the clamp body for cracks or deformation before each use.
