Overview
Stretching about 50 inches with a compact 3.14 by 3.14 inch bar, the CMT PGC-50 clamp weighs in at 1.52 kilograms (about 3.3 lb). It carries a 4.6 star rating from 104 reviews.
At 50 inches, this sits at the long end for a bar or panel clamp, built for spanning wide glue-ups or panel assemblies rather than small parts. The 3.14 by 3.14 inch bar cross section is fairly compact for that length, which keeps the overall weight down to 1.52 kilograms despite the reach.

Who it's for
Woodworkers gluing up wide panels or doors, where a 50 inch reach matters, are the right buyer for this clamp. It is not the right size for small clamping jobs, where a shorter clamp would be easier to handle.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 50 inch reach for wide glue-ups
- Manageable 1.52 kg weight for its length
- No clamping force figure listed
- Long size is overkill for small jobs
Performance notes
The 50 inch length is the defining spec here, giving it reach across wide panels or door assemblies that a standard 12 to 24 inch clamp cannot cover. At 1.52 kilograms, the 3.14 by 3.14 inch bar keeps the tool manageable for its length, though no clamping force figure is listed to confirm holding pressure.
