for professional welders and contractors. The Fold-A-Jack has
up to a 2,500lb (900kg) capacity and features folding legs made
from 1" square tubing and an adjustment screw made from
heavy wall tubing.
In the folded position, the legs are much less susceptible to damage
and occupy only one third of the space taken up by a non-folding
jack. The new carrying handle is a user-friendly addition that
facilitates easy transport and handling.
For safety, the Fold-A-Jack features both a quick-action lockwasher
and the patented Fall Guard protection. Standard features include
a 1 1/2" (38mm) Acme fine adjustment thread (the largest in the
industry), a large convenient adjustment handle, and a set screw
that locks jack head to the stand during transportation and provides
a double margin of safety.
Five head styles are available including standard vee, ball transfer,
steel wheel, rubber wheel, and bar stock. Vee and steel wheel
heads are also available in stainless steel.

Effective clamping devices for accurate fit-up
The Sumner® Ultra Clamp is a fast and accurate fit-up clamp that
can be used for pipe-to-pipe, pipe-to-fitting, and pipe-to-
flange. Three model sizes
accommodate pipes from 1"
to 12" in diameter.
The clamps are very lightweight and
have a rugged and durable frame,
while stainless steel alignment
screws at all contact
points hold fittings in
place and allow for fine
adjustment.
Smooth roller clamping
action enables positive
gripping and the operating
handle repositions for close
work. Fit-up settings can be
maintained for repeat fit-ups.
