Irwin Industrial Tool Co 1964742 Mini Bar Clamp 6 Inch

Product Description

The IRWIN INDUSTRIAL TOOL CO 1964742 is a next-generation Quick-Grip mini bar clamp designed for fast, one-handed clamping in woodworking, light fabrication, and general assembly applications. The pistol-grip squeeze mechanism allows micro-adjustment of clamping pressure without repositioning, while a quick-release trigger lets the bar slide freely into the approximate position before locking down. The reinforced resin body pairs with a hardened steel bar to keep the tool rigid under load, and non-marring soft pliable pads protect finished or delicate surfaces from jaw damage. Maximum jaw opening is 6 inches with a throat depth of 2-7/16 inches and a rated clamping force of 140 pounds.

This clamp is suited for residential and light commercial carpentry, cabinet installation, trim work, and bench-top assembly tasks where a compact, portable clamp is needed. The 6 inch jaw opening makes it practical for clamping narrow stock, door frames, trim pieces, and small panel assemblies. The package includes 5 clamps, making it a useful addition to a jobsite bag or shop drawer where multiple simultaneous clamps are routinely required. Carpenters, finish trades workers, and skilled DIYers are the primary installers and users of this tool.

Installation Notes

No power source is required for operation. Inspect the bar and jaw mechanism before each use to confirm the locking trigger engages fully. Do not exceed the rated 140 pound clamping force, and avoid using the clamp as a structural support or load-bearing device. Store clamps away from moisture to prevent corrosion of the hardened steel bar.
