How do I adjust the position of the rotary lug?
The new Tufflink™ 360° is Rotary adjustment is easy, just loosen the two setscrews near the pivot
outfitted with a rotary lug to provide on the rotary lug. Use a wrench on the end of the lever to rotate lever to
full rotational positioning of the desired orientation and tighten setscrews. We recommend tightening the
lever. Compare the flexibility of setscrews while clamping over a workpiece at operating pressure.

Swing clamps have more part variation tolerance; with nominal

How is the rotary lug better than the

Never derate a Link Clamp again due to an offset lever design.
The clamp lever can now be rotated to adjust for part changes or last minute
variations. Because it maintains symmetric loading on levers, pivots and pins,
clamp life is vastly improved and failures eliminated.
