Gets tough, with "down" (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

clamps

(Other definitions for clamps that I've seen before include "Grips" , "Devices to hold things, car wheels say" , "Device to hold things, car wheels say" , "Holds tightly with device - illegally parked cars? (6)" , "fasteners" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
