Heavier duty pull-type toggle clamp

[Dr.Al]

I'm after a heavier duty version of one of these:

Essentials Toggle Cabinet Catches Nickel-Plated 45mm x 36mm 10 Pack - Screwfix

Order online at Screwfix.com. Steel construction. FREE next day delivery available, free collection in 1 minute.

www.screwfix.com

(i.e. a toggle clamp that pulls the two parts tightly together).

Any suggestions (preferably from somewhere I can buy two from without paying a delivery charge designed around bulk purchases!)?

Have a look at flight case fittings , may suit you , or coach building suppliers for lorry body / recovery trucks.
Some chandlers have a good range too and in stainless.

maplins used to do them, but I bet there's loads on ebay

Thanks, that's really useful. Searching for flight case fittings found the proper name for what I'm after: "draw bolt catch" - with that set of keywords to search for I've found lots of promising options.

adam hall and penn fabrications is who I used to use when I was building cases , after that I just bought them as it was faster , but there is some really handy stuff in that industry.

These look perfect: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174383470036

Thanks again

I bought those exact ones to fix safety guards on my tractor cab that has a hedge flail fitted. They are quite stout but in the end I didn't use them as another solution presented itself.

You'd be welcome to them but it might take a while to find where I put them !

That's very kind of you, but I've already ordered the ebay ones.

I am familiar with this kind of toggle clamp and can say that such things are really efficient if you are working with manufacturing furniture. I am running an engineering company and we will create these ones next month, but I recommend you to look at another company such as https://www.sandfieldengineering.com/toggle-clamps/ since they provide the same services as ours. In addition to this, they can give you a 20% discount if you say that you are from "Rick". Good luck with your clamps and try to think wise while choosing the best ones!
