Zinc handle with steel threaded bolt. A range of zinc die-cast clamping levers with metric steel external threads from RS Pro. Clamping levers, also known as clamping handles, are primarily used for tightening or loosening screws, eliminating the need for special tools or wrenches. Clamping levers are ideal for use in hard-to-reach or confined spaces. They are available in various thread sizes and shaft lengths to accommodate a wide range of applications.

Clamping levers are easy to use. The handles feature an internal ratchet system with a toothed drive. Pulling the lever upwards disengages the toothed mechanism, allowing the lever to be rotated freely. Pushing the lever down locks the toothed drive, enabling manual tightening or loosening of the screw.

Features and benefits:

• Sturdy handle made of zinc die-cast
• Blackened steel inserts
• Thread sizes from M5 to M12
• Thread lengths from 16 mm to 63 mm

Application area:
Clamping levers are used wherever screws need to be tightened or loosened repeatedly. They are useful when machines need to be swapped, maintained, or regularly adjusted in height. Clamping levers can be used for height adjustment of tripods or metal frameworks and stands. They also facilitate the loosening of fasteners during critical maintenance work on machines. This time-saving device allows for quick loosening and retightening of screws, reducing costly machine downtime.
