Irwin 223136 Bar Clamp 36 in 1000 Lb Clamping Pressure

Product Description

The IRWIN 223136 is a heavy-duty bar clamp built for high-load fastening tasks in woodworking, fabrication, and general trade applications. It delivers 1,000 pounds of clamping pressure across a 36-inch capacity, making it suited for large panel glue-ups, framing assemblies, and structural fixtures. The 3-1/8-inch throat depth allows clearance over thicker workpieces and assembled components. At 3.97 pounds, the clamp is substantial enough for demanding work while remaining manageable for single-operator use. It is a standard tool in the shops and job sites of carpenters, millwrights, metal fabricators, and general contractors.

The IRWIN 223136 is used wherever a large-format, high-pressure clamp is needed to hold material during gluing, welding, or assembly operations. Its 36-inch jaw opening accommodates wide workpieces such as cabinet carcasses, tabletops, door frames, and structural panels. The clamp is appropriate for both residential finish work and light commercial fabrication environments. It is a single-unit package, commonly kept as a standalone tool or acquired in sets for production work.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or addition bar clamp for trade and shop use requiring a 36-inch capacity, high-pressure jaw clamp in woodworking, fabrication, or general assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Bar clamps are installed and removed by hand or with light mechanical assistance — no power tools or special fasteners are required. Before applying clamping pressure to finished surfaces, use protective pads to prevent marring. Inspect the bar and jaw mechanism for damage or debris before each use, and never exceed the rated 1,000-pound clamping pressure. For structural or load-bearing assemblies, verify that the clamp is being used as a temporary fixture only and that permanent fastening meets applicable building or fabrication codes.
