20-Inch Steel Bar Clamp
The Capri Tools CP11033 is a 20-inch heavy-duty bar clamp built entirely from forged and heat-treated steel. Its nickel and chrome plating resists corrosion during demanding workshop tasks. A hardened steel T-bar handle and a 5/8-inch hex spindle end allow tightening by hand or with a wrench. The swivel pad distributes pressure evenly across irregular workpieces.
Upgrading From Light-Duty Clamps
This clamp replaces lightweight or plastic-handled models that flex under high loads. The 2,645 lbs of clamping force make the jump worthwhile when glue-ups, welding fixtures or metal fabrication demand consistent pressure without frame deflection. It is not suited for users who need only occasional light clamping or who prefer quick-release mechanisms for rapid repositioning.
Practical Limits of Steel Construction
The all-steel body adds mass that can fatigue the operator during extended overhead use. The fixed 5-1/2-inch throat depth restricts reach on wide panels, so deeper-throat alternatives are required for cabinet-side assembly. The Proposition 65 notice indicates chemical exposure risks that require gloves and ventilation in confined spaces.

Questions about this item
What is the maximum workpiece thickness the 20 in clamp can hold?
The 20 in clamping capacity defines the maximum distance between the jaws, so it holds workpieces up to 20 in thick.
How do I apply extra tightening force using the spindle hex end?
Fit a 5/8 in wrench or ratchet onto the spindle hex end and turn to increase or release pressure quickly.
Will the nickel and chrome plating need reapplication over time?
The plating provides corrosion resistance for the steel surfaces; under normal use it does not require scheduled reapplication.
