DESTACO Carver Clamps are used in a wide variety of applications including welding, open set-up machining, manual die clamping, general surface machining and rapid job change-over. DESTACO Carver clamps represent a great improvement over the ordinary "C" clamp. Because they are made up of two major components - frame and moveable jaw - creating a much sturdier hold vs. the common style "C" clamp. Work is held securely by both jaws, not one jaw and a screw. DESTACO offers the following types of Carver clamps: Bar style, Buttress style, C-style, T-slot style.

Also known as portable, or plier clamps, the jaws of the DESTACO Squeeze Action Clamps are locked automatically when closing, as one or both handles are squeezed against the central position. The jaws of most models are drop-forged in steel and most are supplied with 1 or 2 adjustable spindles.
