Bolts with spring-loaded handles

[redvan22]

Hello again,
I need one of those thingies that is a bolt with a spring-loaded handle that allows you to tighten a bolt in a tight space. I don't know what they're called.

Can someone give me the name of these things so I can find them please?

Michael.

Kipp hand levers. Zoro has good prices but you need to get the part numbers from the Kipp catalog first to find them on the Zoro site.

"Rotating Knob Wingnut Ratcheting Thumb Lever Screw." I get mine on eBay; usually cheaper than going direct to McMaster, MSC, Zoro & Taylor Tool Works, and I can get the smaller versions that I prefer for many uses (many styles, colors & sizes:





Also have "Push Button Ratchet Lever Adjustable Handle Knobs," which have female threads, like these:

Little Machine Shop has 5 and 6 mm versions. They're used on a number of benchtop machines.

LMS calls them locking handles. LMS has two versions. One is made in China, it's okay. The other is made in Germany. Cost more, but much, much better.

I agree. I broke the plastic handle off one of my originals -- the handle was upright and fouled the mill table. I replaced both with the German ones.
