Hit an estate sale this morning and picked up a couple of nice looking f-style clamps. 5-3/4" deep and 12" clamping capacity. I cannot find any marks, maker or otherwise, on the clamps. Wondering if anyone recognizes these and knows who they were made by?

Woodcraft tends to favor things that are green. Rockler likes blue (plastic). So....maybe older Woodcraft?

The green caught my eye. Anat and Clifton also favored green if my memory is working.

John,
That looks like them. I didn't see much name brand stuff in this guy's garage. I do like these clamps and it doesn't appear Woodtek is selling them any longer. Very stout despite being made in China.

Thanks!

Some folks assume since something is no longer available it must be antique.

Of course if no one has seen them, they are rare.

Kind of got lost there myself! Very poor attempt at humor by me regarding descriptions on eBay about obscure items.....makes them "Antique and Very Rare" in the eyes of some sellers.

:confused:I'll go away now.

You forgot the ‘fresh from an estate sale’ line.

I have the same clamps, however mine are blue and branded as Irwin. I got them at Lowes. I'm guessing there's an offshore factory that makes and private labels them for everybody.
