What this is
The Cabinet Master Pro Heavy-Duty is Jorgensen’s higher-force 90°-parallel-jaw bar clamp line, sold in multiple lengths. This page covers the 36-inch model (#8136), sold as a 2-pack, which currently shows up as one of Jorgensen’s better-selling bar clamp listings on Amazon. We’re covering it as a standalone product page — not a head-to-head comparison — so you can see every published spec in one place before deciding if it fits your glue-up size.

Jorgensen Cabinet Master Pro Heavy-Duty 36" Parallel Bar Clamp (2-Pack, #8136)
Manufacturer markets the built-in stand for one-handed positioning and the reversible jaw for tool-free conversion to a spreader. This is the Heavy-Duty line, not the Medium-Duty Cabinet Master (which tops out at 1,500 lb).
View Price on AmazonWho this is for
If you’re gluing up panels or cabinet carcasses wider than the 24" reach of a standard-length parallel clamp, this is the size to reach for — the 36" opening and 2,200 lb rating put it at the higher-capacity end of Jorgensen’s parallel-clamp lineup. The built-in stand is a genuine usability difference from clamps that need to lie flat or be propped against something while you position a panel.
Who this isn’t for
If your work is smaller-panel glue-ups (under 24"), the shorter Jorgensen 8024 covered in our parallel clamps comparison is lighter, cheaper per clamp, and easier to store. A 36" clamp is bulkier to store than most home shops need for anything narrower than a door or wide panel.
Bottom line
This is a spec-sheet writeup, not a load test — we haven’t put a panel between these jaws and measured how much the bar deflects at full 36" opening under real pressure. On paper, it’s Jorgensen’s longer-reach, higher-force parallel clamp with a stand built in. Jorgensen Cabinet Master Pro 36" (2-Pack) if 36" matches your glue-up width.
