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. Made of plastic, all of these handles resist oil, grease, and solvents. They are reinforced with fiberglass for strength. Mount them into a threaded hole.

Magnetic Load Positioning Poles
Positioning
Pole
Guide suspended steel sheets, iron pipe, and other magnetic loads by pushing and pulling them from a safe distance. These poles have an on/off magnet at the end—release them by turning a switch on the magnet. Made of fiberglass, these poles are lightweight to reduce arm fatigue. They telescope for extra reach.
