This past week I must have had temporary super powers and broke the
aluminum clamping mechanism in two of my Jorgy Cab Master bar clamps.
I've had them for several years without any problems but they're only
covered by a 1 year warranty. I called their Customer Service at
(312) 666-0640 and explained my situation and was connected to a
technical person who told me it is a known problem, the failing of the
aluminum mechanism. She asked how many clamps I owned and she assured
me she would get replacement cast iron mechanisms out to me ASAP. Two
days later UPS delivered a box which contained 12 replacement
mechanisms, one for each Cab Master in my arsenal.
So, if any of you own Cab Masters that have failed you might want to
phone them and give them the opportunity to make it right for you.

Thanks, Roy...
Always good to know that some companies will "do the right thing" and they
should get as much attention for it as we give to the less responsible ones that
we bitch about...

I generally don't like "me too" posts, but feel one is appropriate
here. Had the same experience (broke one; got replacement parts for
all eight I owned). Very much appreciated; I will look to them first
for future clamp needs.

Actually Jorgenson quit using the aluminum castings way back when,
probably over 10 years ago. I had all of mine replaced 10 + years ago.
The steel ones are much better although heavier.
