The Click Change Insert Holder is not just another device to hold a carbide insert. It is a productivity tool. Like an electric drill instead of a hand drill, or an air wrench instead of a hand ratchet. It is also designed NOT to wear out. The insert pocket will not distort with use. It will pay for itself over and over again! |

US Patent No. 7,153,069

|
|
| The Click Change Holder will dramatically improve the productivity of machining operations. Operators will be less frustrated, machine uptime will improve, and repair costs will go down. With a conservative savings of two minutes per tool change, the return on investment is measured in weeks. Or in some cases days. |
|
|
| The Click Change Holder has a powerful locking mechanism that does not rely on spring pressure to hold the insert in place. There is an internal drive spring that is used to engage a high angle locking wedge, and it is the wedge that performs the clamping action. Once engaged, the wedge cannot be loosened by any amount of machining force. Only a manual release will free the insert. |
