Founded in 1927, Urko has grown from a small workshop into a global business that is still run on family-company values. The company makes all its critical components itself at its own factory in Spain, which guarantees complete quality control. Urko was one of the first manufacturers to use spheroidal graphite cast iron (nodular cast iron) in its clamps, which made them practically unbreakable compared with traditional grey cast iron.
The brand's red-and-black tools are a familiar sight on European work sites. Urko invests continuously in product development: its patented non-slip braking systems and ergonomic handles are designed to withstand heavy torque and the strain of professional use day after day.
Legendary screw clamps with a double-threaded piston mechanism for maximum force.
Fast, light clamps for joinery and installation.
Industrial-grade toggle clamps for series production and jig making.
In piston clamps (such as the Urko 4003 series), the thread is protected from impacts and welding spatter. Their double thread also allows faster tightening and greater force with fewer turns.
Yes. All-steel models and those with a protected thread in particular are excellent for welding work, because earthing is reliable and spatter does not damage the mechanism.
It is cast iron with added magnesium that makes the graphite form spheres. This makes the material much more durable and tougher than traditional brittle cast iron, preventing the jaw from breaking when tightened.
Urko gives its tools a warranty against material and manufacturing defects. Used correctly, an Urko clamp is an almost everlasting tool.
Toolcat Oy is the importer and distributor of Urko products in Finland. We stock Urko screw clamps, piston clamps and quick-release clamping devices in Vantaa and deliver to resellers, online retailers and professional users throughout Finland, the Nordic countries and the Baltics.
Yes. We sell only to businesses. A clamp is a one-off purchase that lasts for decades: it sells on its durability and cast-iron body rather than its price, which makes it a good product at a higher price point. Open a business customer account to see your contract prices in the webshop and order on invoice.
Stock items are typically delivered within 48 hours anywhere in Finland. Normal delivery time is 1–5 working days, depending on the shipping method and destination. We also deliver to the other Nordic countries and the Baltics, with delivery time and costs agreed per order. Products can also be collected from our Vantaa warehouse by arrangement.
