Canadians
I regret to inform you that I have had to suspend all shipments to Canada until I am able to ramp up production. The paperwork processing time, and even weight requirements for orders to Canada are too overwhelming to even consider at this point. I have saved all the emails I've received from Canada, and when I get ramped up enough to spend the time involved, I will reply to those emails in case anyone is still interested. For now, it simply is not possible.

Since they have their own Weinigs, if you can draw the profile, they can mill the molding for you. They also have a pre-hung door shop on site, and are using Clam Clamps in their own shop for banding their rim raised panels (aka: banded raised panels).
Other names many of you will recognize that Hamilton stocks are Windsor One, Focal Point, Fypon, Duraflex (my own preferred brand of flex molding), Garden State Millwork, Ferche, Enkeboll, Coffman, L.J. Smith.
They have a pre-hung door shop on site, as well as hard to find hardware- such as Rixon Hinges for those secret bookshelf doors - Baldwin, Ives, Johnson - just to name a few.

Please call (203) 378-1220 and ask for Paul. Thank you.
The clamp pictured on our home page is an even better clamp than the thousands sold prior to July of 2002. We guarantee Clam Clamps against failure or defects for one year. We offer tradesmen a full refund of the purchase price upon return of the clamps in good condition, provided we are notified within one month of their desire to return them for any reason whatsoever. We are confident that once you give them a try, you'll never trim a door without them (without sniveling and whining about it).
Our Philosophy
NOT REQUIRED READING
I truly believe that the vast majority of people, excluding lawyers, are
much happier when they are producing something of value with a high degree
of efficiency, than when they are just trying to look busy, or when they
are not getting much done. And there is more to it than merely keeping
the boss or the client off one’s back. Just call it personal satisfaction.
I have also noticed, when using “Clam Clamps’” on jobsites with the “production” method, that real teamwork develops by itself, the days fly by quicker, and a whole lot of casing goes up. And the end result is a very high quality job.
Some of our customers, particularly those who do their own trim, but who don’t specialize entirely in trim, buy one or two sets of “ Clam Clamps ” and clamp their miters after they have tacked them to the jambs.
x
x
x
It saves them a lot of time and gives
them an excellent job. How many clamps you need depends mainly on how
much work you have, how many men you have to do it with and how fast you
want the job done.
Every component of “ The Clam Clamp ” is made in the United
States, and assembled here. We have made every effort to produce a clamp
which is fast, durable, easy to use, easy on hands and wrists, and rust
proof. A lot of machining has gone into each “ Clam Clamp.”
It is expensive to produce and valuable to own.
The payback time is measured in hours as opposed to years. Best of all,
Clam Clamps will make you more money faster.
I honestly believe we have succeeded in producing not only the world’s
fastest miter clamp, but the world’s best as well.
Happy trimming ,
Jim Chestnut
