DESTACO has been designing and building toggle clamps since 1936, when we patented the first one in the industry. From that day forward, we have been the innovator, adding many styles and versions to improve our product line of clamping devices. As safety concerns became more prevalent, we added safety tabs on our linkages to help eliminate potential pinch points on our vertical handle hold-down clamps.

   

In the 1990’s we further enhanced our product line by introducing a dozen different models in our line of Toggle-Lock Plus manual clamps. As we listened to the voice of our customers, who were looking for even safer toggle clamps to use in their applications, we brought this next level of innovation to the industry. This feature provides an additional locking lever that helps ensure over-center locking of the toggle mechanism, and to provide an added safety factor to help protect the employee, machinery and equipment, and the product being clamped.
