Finding solid clamps can be difficult, but this article is here to help. There are many clamps out there to choose from so selecting the right one is imperative. There are dozens and dozens of clamps out there, and each has its own specific purpose. This article is not going to go into the details of each and every clamp, but rather it's going to take a look at some of the major clamp manufacturers to give you an overview of what to expect.
Woodworking Clamp Manufacturers
If you are looking for a high quality, made in America, clamp then look no further than Wetzler Clamps. Wetzler has been making high quality clamps since 1928. Wetzler pioneered the “Quick Action” clamp design that has become the benchmark of the clamping industry. This design has been copied by almost every clamp manufacturer out there, but Wetzler is still the choice of most professionals. Each of their clamps is still machined and assembled by hand. Quality construction, outstanding customer support, and worldwide name recognition are all hallmarks of the Wetzler Clamp Company.
Another high quality clamp manufacturer is Bessey Tools. Bessey has an extensive line of clamps and tools and has been in business since 1889 when Max Bessey founded a drawn steel mill. In 1936 the company obtained a patent for an adjustable screw clamp. This was the first clamp that was offered by Bessey Tools. They then released an all-steel clamp that saved craftsmen hours of time on their current production. Bessey continues to offer high quality products and all of their clamps come highly recommended. These clamps are designed and manufactured for the serious woodworker and they can be expected to hold up to whatever job you throw at them, no matter how big or small.
These two are probably the most well recognized and highest quality clamps available. For you, the consumer, it comes down to which company you feel better with; the North American hand made Wetzler, or the high quality industry standard Bessey Tools. Each company offers high quality, dependable products that you can use for your everyday projects. Having a solid clamp is one of the most important things for the casual or serious woodworker. The only way to guarantee a solid fit and cut is through a great clamp. Without being able to hold your wood in place, the products you make will suffer. Choose either of the manufacturers with confidence.
