Pull-action latch clamps are among the several types of clamps that GOOD HAND offers. They are used for sealing applications including container and door sealing. Our pull-action latch clamps are the perfect instruments for the job because they can help you with their strong capabilities, saving you the need to utilize extra power to complete the duties. Quick-action clamps called toggle clamps work by employing an over-center locking mechanism called a "toggle action." The clamping arm meets the center to hold the fixture or workpiece in a locked position, and the clamping handle moves a linkage to its center position using a set of levers and pivots.

A toggle clamp is a tool used, usually but not always, in manufacturing processes to locate components or parts securely in place. Toggle clamps' main characteristics are their quick action and secure locking into place, as well as their ability for an operator to quickly turn them on and off. In situations where there is limited room, straight-line clamps secure workpieces by applying clamping force from the side rather than the top. Alternatively referred to as straight-line toggle clamps, these devices feature a plunger that presses on a workpiece to keep it in place when a lever handle is engaged.

Workpieces are frequently held in position with toggle clamps. The reason these clamps are called "toggle clamps" is that they have a manually operated handle that is attached to a clamp that can be moved by pushing or pulling. Manual toggle clamps have levers that can be turned horizontally or vertically, push or pull linearly, have a rotating cam in place of a pivot, or have a hook in place of a clamping foot. Squeeze-action clamps, which function similarly to grippers, and latch clamps are two further types of holding clamps.
