How many positions does have the handle of the Vertical Quick Clamp?

Question:

I have a question about the  Vertical Quick Clamp https://www.spanclamps.com/quick-clamps-flanged)

The description says that the handle position can be changed by 30°:

Does that mean 12 possible positions of the handle, or only 2 positions? 

 

Answer

Yes, you can have different positions of the handle, the dodecagonal socket allows indeed 12 positions.

However, since you cannot be in line with the arm you lose about two positions.

Take care to clamp and unclamp the system is then two positions.
