FAQs
What is the maximum material thickness this clamp can handle?
This clamp can handle materials with a maximum thickness of 85mm.

What material is the clamp made from?
The clamp is made from zinc-plated steel for superior corrosion resistance.
Is this clamp suitable for heavy-duty industrial use?
This is a general-purpose clamp designed primarily for bricklaying and similar construction tasks. For heavy-duty industrial applications, a clamp with a larger capacity or specialized design might be more appropriate.
How do I clean the clamp?
Wipe the clamp clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use. Store in a dry environment.
Where is this clamp designed and manufactured?
The clamp is designed and manufactured in Britain.
Troubleshooting
Clamp does not grip firmly
Ensure the material thickness is within the 15mm-85mm range. Tighten the RHINOGRIP thumbscrew more firmly. Check the clamp's threads for any debris that might be obstructing the grip.
Thumbscrew is difficult to turn
Check for dirt or grit in the threads and clean them. Lubricate the threads with a light oil if necessary. Ensure the clamp is not overtightened or cross-threaded.
Visible signs of rust
While zinc plating offers corrosion resistance, prolonged exposure to moisture can lead to surface rust. Clean the rust with a wire brush and apply a light coat of oil for protection. Ensure proper storage in a dry place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Identify the material you need to clamp. Ensure its thickness falls within the 15mm to 85mm range.
- Position the clamp onto the material.
- Rotate the RHINOGRIP thumbscrew clockwise to tighten the clamp. Apply sufficient pressure to secure the material firmly without causing damage.
- To release, rotate the thumbscrew counter-clockwise.
Compatibility:

- Compatible with standard brick profiles and similar construction materials.
Care:
- After use, wipe the clamp clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and debris.
- Periodically inspect the threads and thumbscrew for any signs of damage or excessive wear.
- Store in a dry environment to prevent corrosion, although the zinc plating offers good protection.
