Take the pain out of pulling smaller ropes. The Clamcleat® CL262 Power Grip 2 allows you to pull over twice as hard compared to using your bare hands. Light, strong and convenient to carry in your pocket. The smoothly contoured hand grip area has been voted the most comfortable shape to fit all hand sizes.
The CL262 allows you to get maximum tension on a windsurf downhaul. It is also used for tensioning dinghy trampolines, forestays and African drums. Use the blue cord to tie the cleat to your kitbag. Manufactured from aluminium for strength and durability.
If you want to pull the rope with one hand, look at the CL261 Power grip 1.
Use the CL262, together with the CL828-70, for maximum tension on dinghy forstays.
Q: What is a power grip?
Ans: The power grip allows you to tension the rope easier without hurting your hands. Slide the cleat over the rope and pull available in a one hand or two-handed version.
Q: What size of rope can you use on the CL262?
Ans: The CL262 will accept ropes from 3-6mm.
Q: Do you get a better performance with an Aluminum cleat?
Ans: Aluminum cleats do not improve the performance of the cleat, but they can achieve higher holding loads and they also might improve the lifespan of the cleat especially if the rope will be in contact with the teeth whilst the rope is being pulled through during adjustment.
Q: What different coating are there for the Aluminum cleats?
Ans: The standard coating for the cleat is a Stoving Aluminum silver enamel coating. For extra protection from corrosion and a high-tech appearance the cleats are also available in a dark grey Hard anodized finish. The part no in suffixed with “AN” to identify the hard anodized finish.
Q: How long should an Aluminum cleat last?
Ans: This really depends on the usage, the quality and age of the rope used etc. so is very difficult to gauge. The ultraviolet rays will discolor the cleats over time and in very sunny climates may affect the life of the cleat. In extreme climates the life expectancy should be 10 -15 years depending on usage and in more moderate climate 20 + years.
Q: What type of rope or cord will give the best performance on my cleats?
Ans: In our experience a braided good quality rope gives you the best holding performance.
Q: Is there any maintenance required to a cleat to keep it performing well?
Ans: We would recommend flushing the with fresh water as often are you can.
