STEEL PRICES RISE:
The carbon steel market is poised to grow by 699.35 MT during 2020-2024 progressing at a CAGR of almost 8% during the forecast period." (Source: Business Wire)
This is what we are seeing all across the industry; day after day new emails from vendor's telling us that their prices are rising, every order we make for materials needs to be revised because the last price is no longer valid, and for good reason. The cost of steel materials has been steadily increasing throughout 2020, and it unfortunately has not slowed into 2021. The reduced capacities of companies in this industry due to Covid-19 health and safety regulations continues to have an impact. As a result, we are forced to increase our list pricing for 2021 and add a steel surcharge to off-set the rising costs that is projected to continue this year. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have on our close and prospective customers. We we will do what we can to keep our prices low when the opportunities are found, but right now we are left with little options.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Product overview
QC Mate Hand Clamp Jaw Options
Description
Replacement jaw sets for the QC Mate hand clamp. Jaws come in sets of 2!
Made with 13 gauge steel material, these jaws are structured to connect your hydraulic couplers. Offered in multiple sizes, as well as duo set sizes for operators who want to use the clamp on the different machines or coupler sizes.
Jaw Sizing
It is important to note the difference between the NPT size (commonly used for couplers) from the outer diameter of the coupler. When choosing QC Mate jaw sizes, select the jaw size that coincides with your coupler NPT size. If you have 1/2" quick couplers, select a 1/2" NPT jaw option. Be aware that the actual jaw width/diameter will be larger than 1/2" (.87" to be exact) in order to fit the outer diameter of the coupler.
Duo Jaws are designed to fit two sizes of coupler each. The benefit of this style is that you can use the same QC Mate clamp on two different coupler sizes without changing the jaws. The Duo Jaws are available in a smaller size (fits 3/8" & 1/2") and larger size (fits 1/2" & 3/4"). The disadvantage of the Duo style jaws is that when using them on the larger of the two sizes you may experience reduced clamping force because the connection with the coupler is less robust and closer to the "tip" of the jaw.
Actual Duo Jaw Diameters are:
- 3/8" & 1/2" = .71" & .87"
- 1/2" & 3/4" = .87" & 1.06"
Uni Jaws are designed to fit one size of coupler each, and they are available in 4 sizes. Uni Jaws are the most robust clamping jaw available because they keep the clamping force at the base of the jaw.
Actual Uni Jaw Diameters are:
- 3/8" = .71"
- 1/2" = .87"
- 3/4" = 1.06"
- 7/8" = 1.18"
