These clamps stand out with their low - profile design, enabling side or end clamping, making them a top choice for applications with height limitations. They offer an excellent holding capacity relative to their size, which is extremely beneficial in workshop settings where space is at a premium. Whether you're working on routing or milling in woodworking, these clamps make it a breeze to create jigs. The push action is perfect for securing stock against a backstop or a datum edge.
Key features include:
- A red vinyl hand grip with a cushioned rib profile, enhancing user comfort during operation.
- On the light - duty range, all body and linkage components are zinc - plated to prevent corrosion.
- The heavy - duty range comes with ductile cast iron bases, providing superior strength and rigidity.
- A tight tolerance between the base and plunger allows for use in pin location, gauging, and clamping applications.
- Pivot points are equipped with hardened steel or stainless steel rivets, ensuring long - term accuracy and a lengthy service life.

Using your Planet Push Type Toggle Clamp is easy. First, decide whether you'll use side or end clamping based on your application. If you're in a workshop with limited space, these clamps are great due to their low - profile design. For woodworking tasks like routing and milling, you can quickly set up jigs by securing the stock against a backstop or a datum edge using the push action.
When using the clamp, make sure to hold the red vinyl hand grip. Its cushioned rib profile is there to make your job more comfortable.
As for maintenance, keep an eye on the zinc - plated components on the light - duty range. They're resistant to corrosion, but try to keep them dry. For the heavy - duty range, the ductile cast iron bases are strong, but avoid hitting them with excessive force.
Check the pivot points regularly. Since they have hardened steel or stainless steel rivets, they'll last a long time, but ensuring they're in good condition will maintain the clamp's accuracy. Also, note the holding force of 50Kg, plunger stroke of 10mm, and handle opening of 66° when using the clamp, and don't exceed these specifications.
