Palmgren's high - tech drop - forged C - clamps offer outstanding performance. Developed through advanced research and computer - aided design, these clamps are strong yet lightweight. The advanced heat - treating on both the body and spindle ensures they can securely hold up to their maximum rated capacities. They are cost - effective, versatile, and built to last. Key features include a high - strength drop - forged frame, full - length spindles machined from a single piece of tempered and hardened steel, square spindle heads for easy wrench tightening, copper - plated anti - splatter spindles, replaceable swivel pads, a lacquer - finished frame, and a lifetime warranty against breakage.

Using your Palmgren C - clamp is easy. First, open the clamp by turning the spindle counter - clockwise until there's enough space to fit your workpiece. Place the workpiece between the jaws of the clamp. Then, turn the spindle clockwise to tighten the clamp around the workpiece. Make sure to use a wrench on the square spindle head if you need extra force. When using the clamp, avoid over - tightening beyond its rated capacity to prevent damage. For maintenance, keep the clamp clean and dry. You can wipe it with a dry cloth after each use. If the spindle gets dirty, you can use a mild cleaner. The replaceable swivel pads can be changed when they show significant wear. Thanks to the lifetime warranty, if the clamp breaks, you can get it replaced.
