Overview
Klein Tools Round Connecting Bar, 3/4-in. Diameter by 30-in. Long (3245)
The Klein Tools Round Connecting Bar, 3/4-Inch Diameter, 30-Inch (model 3245) is a forged fit-up bar for ironworkers. This is a connecting bar designed for positioning steel members and aligning bolt holes during steel erection.
One end is pointed to find and line up bolt holes. The other end is a 15-degree chisel that slips into tight gaps and gives you extra leverage to shift a beam or plate the last fraction of an inch. Between the two ends, you can spud, pry and align without changing tools.
The bar is forged from hardened steel for durability and long life, and it is made in the USA. At 30 in. long, 3/4 in. in diameter and about 3.3 lb, it is the lighter, handier option in Klein's round bar lineup.
This bar is for connectors, ironworkers and concrete crews who need a dependable fit-up bar that is easy to carry on the iron and long enough to give real leverage.
Line Up Bolt Holes Fast
The pointed end goes straight into the hole so you can lever two members into alignment and get a bolt started.
- Pointed fit-up end
- 3/4 in. (1.9 cm) body diameter

Extra Leverage Where You Need It

Light Enough to Carry All Day
At just over 3 lb, this bar rides on the iron without wearing you out.
