Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. Does the brand offer horizontal hold down clamps in styles?

A. Yes, in addition to this flanged base U bar variant, Destaco also offers Toggle Lock Plus enabled (Destaco 305-UR & Destaco 309-UR) horizontal clamps.

Q. What is a horizontal hold down clamp?

A. Destaco horizontal hold down clamps are designed for keeping a workpiece stationary against a flat surface / workbench for various industrial applications like metalworking and woodworking.

Q. How do horizontal hold down clamps work?

A. Some U bar style clamping arm clamps, such as Destaco 307-U, feature a flat tip bonded neoprene spindle that is manually operated using a handle / lever. This handle movement pushes the spindle against the workpiece and prevents it from moving mid operation, thereby ensuring secure clamping.

Q. What does holding capacity mean in terms of clamps?

A. The holding force or the holding capacity depicts the clamp's capability to hold down sheet metal or an equipment on assembly lines or during other manufacturing processes.

Q. Which grease is recommended for use with Destaco clamps when rebuilding?

A. For ensuring smooth operation & durability of mechanical clamps, it is recommended to use a coupling grease like Mobil XTC.

Q. What does the red colour of the handle of Destaco clamps mean?

A. The red coloured handles alert the user about the location of the operating handle and when he should grab it. The red colour has no additional advantage to the working of the clamps.

Q. What is the difference between a vertical & horizontal toggle clamp?

A. The difference lies in the orientation of the handle when the clamp is in the locked position. A vertical clamp handle is vertically oriented (perpendicular to the base) when in locked position, while in the case of a horizontal toggle clamp, it is horizontally oriented (parallel to the base).
