Jorgensen 18-Inch Parallel Bar Clamp – Heavy-Duty Cabinet Master Clamp, 2-Pack

Overview

The Jorgensen 18-Inch Parallel Bar Clamp is engineered for bench-top woodworking where even pressure matters. Its compact, industrial-grade steel bar stays rigid under load, helping you achieve precise glue joints on boards, drawers, and cabinet components with minimal deflection and consistent contact across surfaces.

With a robust clamping force up to 2,200 lbs, this tool keeps workpieces secured and reduces the risk of warping during glue-ups, cabinet assembly, and other woodworking tasks. The upgraded steel screw thread translates to steady, repeatable pressure from start to finish, so you can focus on layout, alignment, and flow rather than wrestling parts into place.

Key capabilities

• Rigid steel bar resists flexing under pressure for consistent joints
• Up to 2,200 lbs clamping force for secure glue-ups
• Sliding jaw reverses quickly to convert into a spreader
• Ergonomic soft-grip handle and quick-release trigger for safe, controlled operation

Smart design and accessories

• Soft Landing System prevents the sliding jaw from dropping during vertical transport
• Includes a 2-in-1 glue separator and clamp stand to keep the bar clean and stable
• Replacement jaw pads available for surface protection and improved glue resistance

Real-world use cases

Ideal for bench-top projects where even pressure across long joints matters, such as cabinet and drawer assembly, furniture frames, and cutting board production. The combination of high force and precise alignment supports reliable results in panel glue-ups and frame work.

2-pack value

This 2-pack provides two parallel clamps built for frequent use, plus the included 2-in-1 glue separator and clamp stand to elevate the bar off the work surface for a clean, stable setup. Replacement jaw pads offer additional protection for delicate pieces and extended tool life.
