Workshops can get damp from time to time, this is why all Axminster Professional Clamps are passivated chrome finished to aid against corrosion. A swivel wooden handle allows maximum pressure to be applied easily. Active clamping Active clamping is when a forged steel clamp maintains its pressure, regardless of the condition of the timber. For example, if a piece of timber with a relatively high moisture content were to be clamped in a warm workshop for an extended period, there’s every chance that it would shrink. As the timber contracts, the force applied to it will remain constant as the forged clamp frame will actively move with the timber. Conversely, the pressure applied with a standard drop forged clamp will decrease as the timber shrinks. Lifetime guarantee. These clamps come with a Lifetime Guarantee, should they fail at any time due to a material or manufacturing defect we will replace them free of charge.
