Workholding

In 1986 Joe Sorensen, an air boat builder in Nebraska USA, was looking for a better way to hold down his steel panels as the

clamps he was using twisted the thin steel as he worked.

A year later, with a good idea for a new style of clamping, he came to American Tools and soon became an employee and working

together, the concept for a pistol grip one-handed bar clamp was born. This revolutionary tool was quickly patented and brought to

market in 1989 with a full line of clamps under the Quick-Grip

brand name. The line was later extended from the Original clamp

to the Micro, Mini, Handi, Quick-Change, and more recently the XP clamp.

Since the launch, IRWIN

Quick-Grip

has become the world leader in one-handed bar clamps and is the industry standard which

has changed the way tradesman do their jobs, greatly improving their ability and efﬁciency on the job.

Originally established in 1898 in the South Yorkshire city of Shefﬁeld in the UK. The Record Tools Factory was swiftly able to make a

long lasting contribution to the worldwide reputation of the region for the manufacture of high quality steel and castings.

The Record

brand name was introduced in 1909 and by the 1920’s the product range had expanded into Vices, Planes, Clamps and

Pipe Wrenches enabling the business to grow rapidly in the UK and many overseas markets.
