Does anyone have a phone number to contact Tru-Grip about their Clamp'n Tool Guide. I get the feeling they want nothing to do with customer service as I have searched all over the internet and can not find a number. The best I could come up with is Griset Industries but their 1-800 number is disconected.

Mc Feely's carries them. they might help(?). Of course, info like this in a major mag review:

Manufacturer Specifications

Manufacturer Griset Industries
Manufacturer's Web Site
Manufacturer's Phone Number
Weight N/A
Dimensions 8 ft.

Doesn't inspire confidence. Griset has been around since 1982 . .. where are they?

P.s. more info:

I think they are no more. I haven't seen them in catalogues for a few years now. McFeelys only has the stops listed.

You might want to call Woodline Usa there Blue Max back-to-back bar clamp is the same as the tru-grip clamp

Peachtree Supply is marketing improved versions of most of the clamps that Griset Industries once made. See www.ptreeusa.com. I have both the Griset and Peachtree versions and like the ones from Peachtree better. Peachtree's clamp and tool guides come with a T slot along the center of the top for attaching stops, guides, etc, along with a ruler scale. Last year they began offering an 8' version similar to Griset's Pro'fitter model and I bought one. It has been a great addition to my shop.

Thanks for the replys. Sounds like Griset is no longer making their clamp-n tool. I have a couple that are in need of parts, time to look for a better clamp tool guide as I wasn't to fond of them anyway. I will check out ptreeusa and look at theirs.
