Grip-on® Aluminum U-Clamp Locking Pliers | 145-12
Tool Warranty
The tool has a Lifetime Limited Manufacturer's Warranty
Product Description:
The Grip-On Aluminum U-Clamp Locking Pliers are designed for professional welding, collision repair, and sheet-metal fabrication where strong clamping and lightweight handling are essential. The U-shaped jaw configuration allows technicians to clamp panels while maintaining clear access to the weld area, making it especially useful for bodywork and metal fabrication setups.
This model uses hardened aluminum alloy jaws instead of traditional steel, significantly reducing tool weight while maintaining clamping strength. The lightweight construction improves comfort during repetitive work and helps reduce the risk of distorting thin automotive panels, particularly when working on modern aluminum vehicle bodies.
The clamp also features a durable epoxy-coated finish that offers increased corrosion resistance and protection from welding spatter, making it suitable for demanding shop environments.
Key Features:
- Aluminum alloy jaws reduce tool weight while maintaining a strong clamping force.
- U-shaped jaw profile allows clear access to weld areas during fabrication or bodywork.
- Lightweight design improves handling and comfort during repetitive welding tasks.
- Epoxy paint coating offers corrosion resistance and durability in shop environments.
- Spatter-resistant material suitable for welding and fabrication work.
- Quick-release mechanism for fast repositioning and safe operation.
