They are suitable for checking fixtures, light machining, assembling & testing, welding, drilling, milling and woodworking applications in the automotive, aerospace, and food & packaging industries. They are used for applying downward clamping force by increasing the applied load through toggle mechanisms and are integrated with precisely machined components having hardened & ground pivot pins and bushings for prolonged service life. These weldable vertical toggle clamps deliver flexibility to position the handle as they incorporate an ergonomic, T handle or vertical handle options with fatigue less handle grip. These vertical hold-down clamps are made of stainless steel construction for resisting corrosion on exposed surfaces and are capable of withstanding loads up to 250 lb. These clamps offer a stationary alternative to removable C clamps or spring clamps while securing material to a work surface, and have a flanged or straight base with threaded holes for quick & secure surface or blade mounting, respectively. They further come equipped with a long handle with great hand clearance that can exhibit a minimum of 90 degrees opening angle for additional safety. These clamp's bolt patterns are interchangeable with the 2002 Series toggle clamps. Further, they accommodate M6 or 1/4 inch spindle assemblies to provide maximum clamping force.
