POWERTEC 20312 Toggle Clamp 4002 400 lbs 12 Pack

Product identity

The POWERTEC 20312 is a 12 pack of type 4002 adjustable pull action toggle clamps rated at 400 lbs holding capacity. They are designed for woodworkers, metalworkers and DIY builders who need repeatable latching on jigs, fixtures, cabinets, tool boxes and smokers. The cold rolled steel bodies with zinc plating resist corrosion in indoor and outdoor use. Each unit clamps securely with an adjustable installation distance.

Build integration

The clamps mount via 3/16 inch diameter slots on a 1-1/4 by 1-7/8 inch base, letting you bolt or screw them to wood, metal or composite structures. The pull action design clears the work area above the latch plate, freeing space for tooling or material handling. Adjustable reach from 1-1/8 to 2 inches accommodates varying material thicknesses without shims. The low 5/8 inch profile when clamped keeps the assembly compact.

Sustained loading

The 181 kg rating applies to continuous holding force, not momentary impact, so the latch stays locked during prolonged clamping cycles on fixtures or doors. Zinc plated steel resists creep and corrosion over repeated thermal and humidity cycles in smokers or outdoor cabinets. The over centre toggle action maintains preload without relying on spring tension that can relax over time. The mechanism operates smoothly through the full 4 to 4-3/4 inch handle travel.
