RS PRO Steel Clamping Lever, Female Thread, M5 x 10 mm, Thermoplastic Handle, 43 mm Length 478-232

RS PRO 478-232 Steel Clamping Lever is a high-quality industrial component engineered for secure fixing, repetitive clamping, and quick adjustment in machinery and framework installations. This model features a female thread of M5 size with an insert length of 10 mm, making it compatible with a range of metric fasteners and threaded receiving holes.

The handle is constructed from robust thermoplastic material, providing an ergonomic grip and insulation against hand fatigue during frequent use. Inside, the lever incorporates a steel insert, offering excellent mechanical strength and reliability even under heavy-duty conditions.

Its lever-type mechanism allows the user to easily tighten or loosen screws by lifting the handle and rotating around a serrated drive, enabling clamping without requiring specialist tools or wrenches. This is particularly beneficial in confined or hard-to-reach spaces where standard tools may not be practical. For further versatility, optional hexagon keys can be used when needed.

With a compact total length of 43 mm, this clamping lever is ideal for machinery maintenance tasks, including quick-release fixings, height adjustments of tripods, metal frameworks, and stands. The black finish imparts resistance against wear, corrosion, and external contamination, ensuring durability in demanding engineering environments.
