Hold, Position, Clamp and Fixture Materials Securely and Accurately

In Booth W-2088, Strong Hand Tools® (Santa Fe Springs, CA), the manufacturer of Strong Hand Tools® Welding Clamps, proudly introduces their new Pipe Alignment Clamp with Quick-Acting Jaws. This fast, accurate fit up clamp has a rugged frame for use in the shop or at the job site. Quickly set the jaws for each project with the unique Quick-Acting Jaws. Get a well-balanced hold on the Pipe Alignment Clamp by grasping the wide handle, while pressing the Quick Acting Button. The T-handle screw smoothly glides up and down, for fast jaw opening and clamp removal after welding. The ease of handling makes this clamp ideal for insertion and extraction at any point over long pipes. Stainless steel contact points allow for clamping of stainless steel parts. Choose from two clamp sizes; small (6 in cap.) or large (12 in cap.). Align pipe for joining, or pipe to flange, pipe to fitting, pipe to tee.

Also debuting at the show are the unique Strong Grip® BIG MOUTH Pliers with a 4-position adjustment to instantly adjust the jaws for holding round, square, or flat workpieces from ¼ in to 3 in. The unique, patented crank handle quickly opens and closes the Plier jaws and can also be used to increase torque, even with the Pliers locked in position. The serrated teeth and long jaw provide a strong grip on large parts with a 3-point bite. The V-Notch in the top jaw holds pins or small pipes. Even at the largest opening, these BIG MOUTH Pliers have a minimal handle spread, so they can be gripped with one hand. Grip marks on the top and bottom Plier handles provide positive gripping power. The secure adjustment bar minimizes those aggravating, time-wasting bar pop-outs. Designed and built for comfort, convenience, and fast operation, these Pliers have an easy-reach, smooth release trigger that quickly unlocks the Pliers with one hand and won’t pinch fingers.

Also being introduced are the new Strong Grip® Combo Tip Pliers that have one round tip (top jaw) for direct, firm clamping pressure in tight spaces, and one swivel pad (bottom jaw) for a wider contact surface area that won’t dent delicate workpieces. Wide jaws provide workpiece clearance, with a holding capacity of 2.8 in to 5 in. Choose from three models to hold square, flat, or angled workpieces. Strong Grip Pliers are the easiest to grip, adjust, and release. Designed and built for comfort, convenience, and fast operation, they also feature a unique crank handle for fast, easy jaw opening, and pressure adjustment, even from the locked position. The easy-reach, smooth release trigger quickly unlocks the Pliers with one hand and won’t pinch fingers. Deep grip marks on the top and bottom handles provide positive gripping power. The secure adjustment bar minimizes those aggravating, time-wasting bar pop-outs.

Also on debut are the unique Strong Grip Economy Pipe Pliers that provide a convenient way to hold round pipes or square tubes for butt welding. These Economy Pipe Pliers allow the accurate lining-up and setting-up of materials for a proper fit-up to avoid gaps, and leave the welder’s hands free for handling and tack welding. With a generous 3 in capacity, these Pliers will prove useful in a wide range of jobs. The large (1.5 in / 38 mm diameter) swivel pad on the top jaw makes positive contact with the workpiece. An adjustable V-Pad on the bottom jaw holds round, square, flat or angled stock securely in position for an accurate setup. Grip marks on the top and bottom Plier handles provide positive gripping power. The secure adjustment bar minimizes those aggravating, time-wasting bar pop-outs. Designed and built for comfort, convenience, and fast operation, these Pliers have an easy-reach, smooth release trigger that quickly unlocks the Pliers with one hand, and won’t pinch fingers.
