Adjustable Handles

Also known as clamping handles, use these standard adjustable handles for applications involving frequent positioning, tightening, and holding adjustments. Lift the handle to rotate freely; then release the handle to engage and tighten.

Heavy Duty Adjustable Handles

These rugged steel handles provide lasting durability for applications involving frequent positioning, tightening, and holding adjustments. Lift the handle to rotate freely; then release the handle to engage and tighten. These handles are also known as clamping handles.

Low-Profile Adjustable Handles

Choose these handles when vertical space is limited. Also known as clamping handles, use them for applications involving frequent positioning, tightening, and holding adjustments. Lift the handle to rotate freely; then release the handle to engage and tighten.

Heavy Duty Low-Profile Adjustable Handles

These rugged steel handles provide lasting durability for applications involving frequent positioning, tightening, and holding adjustments in areas with limited vertical space. Lift the handle to rotate freely; then release the handle to engage and tighten. These handles are also known as clamping handles.

Choose-a-Color Adjustable Handles

Identify equipment controls and components at a glance by their color. Also known as clamping handles, use these handles for applications involving frequent positioning, tightening, and holding adjustments. Lift the handle to rotate freely; then release the handle to engage and tighten.

Safety Adjustable Handles

Prevent unintentional changes to equipment settings—when not in use, these handles are disengaged and turn freely. To change the position, push down on the handle and turn. When you release the handle, it disengages once again. These handles are also known as clamping handles.

Quick-Clamp Adjustable Handles

For fast clamping anywhere along a threaded rod, press the button to slide the handle into position; release the button to secure. These handles are also known as clamping handles.

Comfort-Grip Adjustable Handles

A soft textured surface provides a comfortable grip for applications involving frequent positioning, tightening, and holding adjustments. Lift the handle to rotate freely; then release the handle to engage and tighten. These handles are also known as clamping handles.

Nonmarring Adjustable Handles

The brass tip on the end of the threaded stud prevents damage to surfaces in applications involving frequent positioning, tightening, and holding adjustments. Lift the handle to rotate freely; then release the handle to engage and tighten. These handles are also known as clamping handles.

Food Industry Adjustable Handles

Made of stainless steel with a nitrile mounting seal, these handles are suitable for food-processing applications involving frequent positioning, tightening, and holding adjustments. Lift the handle to rotate freely; then release the handle to engage and tighten. These handles are also known as clamping handles.

Metal-Detectable Adjustable Handles

Use these handles for applications involving frequent positioning, tightening, and holding adjustments near food processing lines without the risk of contaminating the food. These handles are also known as clamping handles.

Static-Control Adjustable Handles

With a surface resistivity of 10,000 ohms, these handles reduce static electricity that can damage electronic equipment. Also known as clamping handles, use them for applications involving frequent positioning, tightening, and holding adjustments. Lift the handle to rotate freely; then release the handle to engage and tighten.

Cam Handles

Use these standard cam handles for most clamping applications. Push down on the handle and the head applies pressure to quickly draw two parts together for fast adjustments.

Heavy Duty Cam Handles

Also known as double cams, these complete cam handles have a durable, extra-large handle for clamping on fixture bases, plates, and workpieces. For fast adjustments, push down on the handle and the head applies pressure to quickly draw two parts together.

Create-Your-Own Heavy Duty Cam Handles

Add a pin, rod-end bolt, or other mounting hardware to build a custom assembly. Also known as double cams, these handles have a durable, extra-large handle for clamping on fixture bases, plates, and workpieces. For fast adjustments, push down on the handle and the head applies pressure to quickly draw two parts together.

Expanding Cam Handles for Unthreaded Holes

Use these handles to keep holes aligned or lift several sheets of thin material. They have a plug that expands to grip the edges inside holes. They are not suitable for permanent installation—use only for temporary mounting.

Machine Handles

Tapered Lever Handles

Use these handles as grips on hand wheels and cranks to operate machinery.

Metal-Detectable Tapered Lever Handles

These handles are often used as grips on hand wheels or cranks to operate machinery around food processing lines without the risk of contaminating the food. Install them on a threaded stud.

Miniature Tapered Lever Handles

Also known as finger handles, these are less than 1" long. Use them as tiny grips on small hand wheels and cranks to operate machinery.

Lever Handles

An easy-to-grip ball knob makes these handles a good replacement for gear levers. Use them to operate machinery.

Ball-Lever Shafts

Attach a ball knob to one of these shafts to create custom handles for operating machinery.

Machine Handles

These handles are often used for operating machinery.

Push-On Tapered Lever Handles

Press fit one of these handles into a shaft, rod, or hand wheel to operate machinery.

Milling Machine Feed Handles

Also known as quill-feed handles, these handles engage and disengage with a flick of the wrist to speed machining operations—especially when drilling deep holes.

Handle Nuts

Use these handles for quick assembly and disassembly. Their offset grip provides leverage, making them a good alternative to wing nuts.

Adjustable-Fit Valve Handles

Whether you're looking for a stopgap or permanent replacement, these valve handles adjust to fit a range of valve and faucet stem widths.

Adjustable-Position Crank Handles

Use these crank handles for applications that involve frequent machinery adjustments. They provide leverage to maximize force for turning and tightening.

Quick-Release Shaft Collar Handles

These threaded handles take the place of a set screw, allowing you to move set screw shaft collars without additional tools—useful for when the collar serves as a stroke limiter or mounting clamp.
