Clamps

[Sixfivesavage]

Any machinists, gunsmiths or welder / fabricators have any good source for C clamps that are worth a shit?! Obviously I'd prefer american made ones and am willing to pay for it but I doubt that they are even being made here at this point.

Over the years I've found that "Bessey" clamps were the best. Most rugged, versatile, and robust. Not sure where they were made though. Just saying it how it is....

Not sure if they are still made in the USA we used Williams forged in the USA clamps.

Piher clamps. Dying to get my hands on one. They blow everything else out of the water
