Overview
The Destaco 602 toggle clamp is a versatile, through-hole mounted straight-line action clamp designed for compact push/pull clamping in tight workspaces. With a 200 lbf (900 N) maximum holding capacity and 0.75 in (19.1 mm) plunger travel, the 602 delivers reliable, repeatable workholding across automotive, aerospace, and packaging applications. The clamp features a flanged base for stable mounting, a round plunger with 1/4-20 thread, and a 360-degree rotatable red handle for ergonomic control in confined setups.
