wood clamps

Post by sawdust13 »

To all wood workers .I have a probably finding Jorgensen wood clamps I don't want the new style plan wood handle. I need 12 spring clanps,4 4-36 8 24 12? Some said home depot is getting rid of this brand. I found some on ebay & amazon but I didn't want to take a mortgage to buy them. l like these clamps a lot and are easy to work with. I also need pads for them. However I don't know how many I need yet. I appreciate any help with this.Thank to all

If you really need (rather than want) you had better just buy they while you can.

I believe they were made by Pony (they bought the name?). Pony is supposedly out of the clamp business, at least for now. If you find one and really think you need it, grab one now before stocks dwindle!

I've read that somewhere too. Too bad, hate to see companies like this vanish.

So if you want them and don't want another brand you best get shopping before they are gone off the shelves everywhere rather then wait until they start popping up on ebay for 5X the price.

According to the latest edition of Woodsmith magazine, Dubuque Clamp Works still makes handscrews here in America. I couldn't find their website, but a search turned up several retailers that carry the clamps.
