DESCRIPTION
Planet Push Type Toggle Clamps are a great choice for various applications. They operate with a plunger mechanism, delivering a reliable straight-line action. One of their key advantages is the low-profile design, which allows for side or end clamping. This makes them especially suitable for applications with height restrictions. These clamps offer an excellent holding capacity relative to their size, making them perfect for workshop environments where space is at a premium. You can easily create jigs for woodworking tasks like routing and milling using these clamps. The push action is ideal for securing stock against a backstop or a datum edge.
Features of these clamps include:
- A red vinyl hand grip with a cushioned rib profile, enhancing user comfort.
- On the light-duty range, all body and linkage components are zinc-plated to prevent corrosion.
- The heavy-duty range has ductile cast iron bases, providing strength and rigidity.
- A close tolerance is maintained between the base and plunger, enabling use for pin location, gauging, and clamping applications.
- Pivot points are equipped with hardened steel or stainless steel rivets, ensuring accuracy and a long service life.

Using your Planet Push Type Toggle Clamp is easy. First, decide where you need to secure your stock. If you're working on a woodworking project, place the clamp in a position where it can hold the stock against a backstop or a datum edge. Then, simply use the push action to engage the clamp. The red vinyl hand grip with the cushioned rib profile makes it comfortable to operate.
When it comes to maintenance, the light-duty clamps have zinc-plated components, which resist corrosion well. But it's still a good idea to keep them clean and dry. The heavy-duty clamps with ductile cast iron bases are strong, but you should also avoid exposing them to excessive moisture. Check the pivot points regularly as they have hardened steel or stainless steel rivets. If you notice any signs of wear or looseness, it might be time for some adjustment.
Remember, these clamps are designed for a long service life, but proper use and maintenance will ensure they work well for a long time. Don't use them beyond their holding force of 136 Kg, and be careful not to overextend the plunger beyond its 32 mm stroke. Also, when opening the handle, keep in mind that it opens 180°. That's all you need to know to get the most out of your Planet Push Type Toggle Clamp!
