Clamp F-type forged Tvardy 500 x 120 mm ratchet (12 pcs)

F-type forged ratchet clamp by Tvardy, size 500 x 120 mm, supplied in a pack of 12. This clamp combines a forged steel body with a ratchet tightening mechanism to provide stable clamping force and controlled incremental pressure. Engineered for demanding workshop and professional environments, the clamp is intended to hold workpieces securely during woodworking, metalworking and assembly operations where repeatable positioning and quick release are required.

Advantages

The forged construction increases resistance to deformation and wear, extending service life under frequent use. The ratchet mechanism enables stepwise tightening and reliable holding force without continuous manual tension, while the quick-release action allows rapid repositioning or removal of the clamp. Supplied as a set of 12, the pack supports multi-point clamping and efficient workflow in production or renovation tasks.

Suitable for

• Clamping panels and components during woodworking
• Holding parts for welding, grinding or drilling in metalworking
• Assembly and fixture tasks in workshops and small production lines
• Temporary installations where stable pressure and repeatability are needed

Key specifications

• Type: F-type ratchet clamp with forged body
• Jaw capacity: 500 x 120 mm clamping reach and throat depth
• Mechanism: Ratchet tightening with quick-release function
• Material: Forged steel components for body and lever
• Finish: Industrial protective coating to resist corrosion during workshop use
• Pack quantity: 12 clamps per set

How to use

Place the clamp so the fixed jaw contacts the stationary surface and the adjustable jaw aligns with the workpiece. Close the ratchet lever repeatedly until the desired clamping pressure is achieved; the ratchet provides incremental locking to avoid over-tightening. To release or reposition, engage the quick-release catch and open the lever. When using multiple clamps, space them evenly to distribute pressure and maintain alignment of the workpiece.

Usage recommendations

Inspect clamps periodically for wear or damage to the forged body and ratchet teeth; replace any clamp showing significant deformation or impaired locking. Use protective pads between clamp jaws and finished surfaces to prevent marring. Store clamps in a dry environment to minimise corrosion and keep the ratchet mechanism clean of debris for reliable operation.
