Q. What other variants of Destaco 237-USS manual clamp are available on Raptor Supplies?
A. Raptor Supplies offers similar manual clamp variants having steel construction (237-U) for structural strength to prevent bending / breaking.
Q. How do horizontal hold down clamps work?

Q. What is the difference between a vertical & horizontal toggle clamp?
A. The difference between a vertical & horizontal toggle clamp lies in the locking position of the clamp handle. A vertical clamp handle is vertically oriented or perpendicular to the base when in locked position, whereas the horizontal toggle clamp is horizontally oriented or parallel to the base.
Q. What does a clamp's holding capacity signify?
A. The holding capacity or holding force represents the capability of a clamp to hold down mechanical equipment or sheet metal while assembling automotive parts or during manufacturing processes.
