Irwin Industrial Tool Co 1964741 36 in Bar Clamp Spreader

Product Description

The IRWIN INDUSTRIAL TOOL CO 1964741 is a 36-inch medium-duty one-handed bar clamp and spreader designed for trade and industrial applications where controlled clamping force and quick operation are essential. Built on an I-beam bar to minimize flexing and bowing under load, this clamp delivers up to 300 pounds of clamping force through a classic pistol grip with a quick-release trigger. The removable swivel jaw and non-marring pads allow it to seat firmly on irregular surfaces without damaging workpiece finishes. A quick-change button converts the tool from clamp to spreader or enables compatibility with one-handed bar clamp accessories. Comes in a package of two units.

This bar clamp is suited for woodworking, millwork, mechanical assembly, and general trade fabrication tasks where one-handed operation is required. The 3-3/16-inch throat depth accommodates a range of stock thicknesses and framing dimensions common in both shop and field environments. The quick-change spreader function makes it practical for installation and rough-in work where both compression and expansion force are needed at different stages of the job. The non-marring pads are particularly useful when working with finished surfaces or soft materials where jaw marks are unacceptable.

Installation Notes

This tool is operated by hand and requires no power source or fastened installation. Before applying clamping force, confirm the swivel jaw and pads are seated correctly against the workpiece to prevent slippage or surface damage. When using in spreader mode, verify the quick-change button is fully engaged before applying load. Inspect the I-beam bar and jaw mechanism for wear or damage before each use on load-bearing or precision assemblies.
