ABOUT CLAMP MANUFACTURING CO., INC. Originated in its current form in 1972, Clamp Manufacturing Company, Inc. (Clamp) was the result of a buyout of a firm owned by Phil and Paul Saurenman. Phil took the Kant-Twist clamp line and one of our current buildings as remuneration in lieu of cash. He continued to be active with Clamp until shortly before his death in December 1995. Clamp remains family owned. The original firm purchased the Kant-Twist line from Paul Saxton in 1953 and paid him royalties until the patent expired. In fact, many old timers may remember the clamp being referred to as "The Saxton clamp." The line has been expanded many times since. Our most recent additions are the 2-1/2" Deep Throat and the 1-1/2" Round Handle clamps. Clamp not only produces the complete Kant-Twist clamp line, but also a line of soft-faced hammers called No-Mar. No Mar Hammers were added in 1973 when Clamp bought Matticks Mfg. from Mike Black. The No-Mar line includes hammers with heads made from Brass, Copper, Lead, and Urethane. Screw-in tip and press-on tip hammers complete the line. We are really excited to now offer the Frugg Dual Face Hammers with a Urethane tip and precision machined head in either 4130 Steel or brass.         Top Page
