What Other Metalheads Are Saying

“I have run the same part on other vises however when I switched to MATE I could instantaneously hear and notice the difference.”

Daniel Strubel, Siemens Industry, Inc.
“You can feel the robustness in Mate’s vises the first time you clamp a part. Mate’s anti-lift jaw design really stood out against competitors, so we don’t worry about jaw lift anymore. The flexibility of their quick-change jaws also makes changeover a breeze. Mate’s vises solved all our workholding problems, instantly becoming our go-to workholding in the shop.”

Jim Walser, Fastenal Manufacturing
“From concept to final product, the Mate team was focused on providing a robust solution and customer satisfaction. Mate went above and beyond to meet a tight delivery schedule so we could meet launch targets for the new machines.”

Daniel Sloat, Resolve Surgical Technologies
“Damn you guys are the s***! I have the vise. Your stuff eats it all day and doesn’t even look used.”
