RS PRO 478-163 Clamping Lever M8 x 16 mm features a fibreglass reinforced nylon handle combined with a steel male stud, engineered for heavy-duty applications requiring repeated tightening or loosening without special tools.

This clamping lever offers robust build quality with a diecast zinc handle construction providing long-term durability and resistance to wear and tear in demanding industrial settings.

The thread is male type with metric dimensions M8 x 16 mm, suitable for various engineering, maintenance, and assembly tasks. The black-colored lever has an overall length of 65 mm, optimizing it for use in confined or hard-to-reach spaces.

Operation is simple, employing lifting and rotating of the handle around a serrated drive to achieve the necessary clamping pressure; alternatively, hex keys (sizes 3mm to 5mm depending on lever length) may be used when additional torque is needed.

Applications include repetitive clamping in machinery maintenance, height adjustment of tripods and frames, quick replacements in equipment setups, and other mechanical assemblies requiring efficient and reliable clamping mechanisms.

The handle is fibreglass reinforced nylon for strength and durability. The shaft is made of steel for secure fastening. The thread size is M8 with a 16 mm thread length. The lever length is 65 mm with a black finish. Designed for repetitive use and ease of operation in tight spaces.

Operable by hand or hex key to achieve clamping pressure. Commonly used in industrial, mechanical, and fluid power applications. This product is manufactured in China and supplied as new, meeting high-quality standards under the RS PRO brand trusted worldwide by engineers and technicians.
