Midland Industries F100 Locking Tool Punch Type Clamps

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES F100 is a locking tool designed for use with Clamp-It punch type clamps in 3/8-inch and 5/8-inch sizes. It provides the mechanical leverage and precise engagement needed to properly seat and lock Clamp-It style clamps during installation. Weighing approximately 2.5 pounds and measuring 13.1 inches in length, the F100 is a hand-held shop or field tool suited for plumbing, HVAC, and general mechanical trade work.
