key clamps

Product descriptionSupport in field service and workshop. These clamps hold keys together as one unit for jobs such as key re-bushing and back check work. Speed and efficiency are greatly increased by eliminating handling of individual keys, leaving both hands free to do the work. Keys can be easily moved around the shop for different work steps with no danger of dropping and damaging key tops. Carrying handles make these clamps a convenient and professional alternative to the box or shopping bag for transporting keys to and from the customer's home.When the keys are turned for work on the front bushings, the carriage bolts rest on the bench top, holding the keys at the correct angle so that front mortises of sharps and naturals are even in height. Quick and easy to use. Just lay keys onto the lower half of the clamp, position the top half and swing the bolts up into the end slots. Knurled brass nuts only need to be twisted a few turns in order to clamp or unclamp a set of keys. These clamps are made from square anodized aluminum tubing, 28' long, and are lined with sponge neoprene to grip the keys. The clamp halves are bowed convex, providing good clamping pressure without the need for a center bolt.
