De-sta-co 345 Hold Down Plier Clamp 800 Lb Carbon Steel

Product Description

The DE-STA-CO 345 is a hold down plier clamp designed for workholding and fixturing applications where consistent, repeatable clamping force is required. Rated at 800 pounds of load capacity, it delivers a firm, stable hold on workpieces during machining, welding, assembly, or fabrication operations. The clamp is constructed from carbon steel for durability under industrial shop conditions. At 10.86 inches overall length with a 2.72-inch throat depth, the 345 suits a wide range of bench and fixture setups. A red handle aids quick visual identification in multi-clamp tooling layouts. Installation and adjustment are handled by machinists, toolmakers, and fixture technicians.

The DE-STA-CO 345 is suited for use in manufacturing, fabrication, and assembly environments where a hold down style plier clamp is required. Its M10 spindle thread accommodates standard metric spindle accessories. The included swivel foot spindle with nut allows the contact end to seat evenly on angled or irregular workpiece surfaces, reducing marking and improving clamp stability across varied part geometries.
