Clamping force
The magnitude of the compressive force determines the force that occurs between the jaws of the clamp and the surface of the part when fully fixed. The higher this value, the more reliable the equipment will hold the part installed in it. Therefore, when choosing a clamp, it is worth considering the amount of force developed by the tool with which you are going to process the workpieces clamped in the tooling. It is desirable that the range of force adjustment be as wide as possible.
So, a tooling designed to work with metal will leave marks on the surface of the clamped tree.
We offer you to watch an overview of the Kraftool clamp in the video.

Peculiarities
The Kraftool company was founded in the German city of Lehningen in 2008 and is engaged in the development and production of carpentry, locksmith, construction and automotive tools, fasteners and accessories, including clamps.
The main differences between Kraftool clamps from analogs are as follows.
High quality standards - all instruments produced by the company undergo rigorous testing in our own laboratories, equipped with modern chemical, tribological and metallographic equipment
Therefore, the tools comply with ISO 9002 standards and have all the quality and safety certificates required for sale in Europe, the USA and the Russian Federation.
Reliability - quality materials and modern technologies are used in the production, due to which the expected service life of the tools is significantly higher than that of their Chinese counterparts.
Reasonable price - due to the combination of production in the PRC with German quality standards, the company's products are slightly more expensive than their counterparts made in China and Russia, and noticeably cheaper than products made in the USA and Germany.
Ease of use - the designers of the German company, when developing clamps, pay great attention to their ergonomics.
Affordable repair - the company's wide dealer network in the Russian Federation allows you to quickly find the necessary spare parts.
