Irwin 2026500 Bar Clamp 24 in 1150 Lb Clamping Pressure

Product Description

The IRWIN 2026500 is a heavy-duty bar clamp built for professional woodworking, fabrication, and general assembly work. It delivers 1,150 pounds of clamping pressure across a maximum capacity of 24 inches, with a throat depth of 3-3/4 inches to reach into workpieces without obstruction. The maximum spread extends to 31 inches, giving tradespeople and skilled woodworkers the flexibility to handle a wide range of stock widths and glue-up configurations. This clamp is suited for demanding job site and shop conditions where consistent, repeatable clamping force is required.

The IRWIN 2026500 bar clamp is a practical choice for cabinet installers, finish carpenters, millwork shops, and general contractors who need reliable clamping force during glue-ups, panel assembly, and structural fastening tasks. Its 24-inch capacity accommodates standard sheet goods edges and framing applications. The extended 31-inch maximum spread adds versatility for larger assemblies without requiring a longer clamp.

Installation Notes

Bar clamps require no installation but should be inspected before each use for jaw alignment, slide mechanism wear, and screw thread condition. Apply clamping pressure evenly and avoid exceeding the rated 1,150 lb clamping force to prevent workpiece damage or clamp failure. Use jaw pads or scrap wood blocks between the clamp jaws and finished surfaces to prevent marring.
