Non-marring clamp pads

Protect
your work.

Custom-fit TPU pads for Festool track clamps and MicroJig MATCHFIT dovetail clamps. They protect the surface and grip off-angle parts. Bonus: most common wood glues won’t stick to them.

Why pads

Stop taping scraps to your clamps

Taping scrap blocks to a clamp works, but it gets annoying fast. These pads are designed and 3D printed to fit the clamp itself.

  1. 01

    Non-marring

    Soft TPU sits between the steel jaw and your workpiece and protects the surface.

  2. 02

    Slip-resistant

    TPU grips where bare steel slides. Especially useful when you clamp off-angle pieces.

  3. 03

    Easy glue cleanup

    Many common woodworking adhesives won’t adhere to TPU, so dried glue comes off easily.

The maker

Made by a woodworker in Midcoast Maine

“In many applications I didn’t want to damage the wood being clamped and would tape on improvised pads, as we all have done. This was effective but often annoying in practice. I thought there had to be a better way.”
Glenn Byers, founder

Byers Tool Company is a small manufacturing outfit in Midcoast Maine, established in 2024 to design and produce high quality tools and accessories.
