About Us
DIMIDE, Inc. is a tool manufacturer based in Milford, Connecticut. We manufacture high quality made in the USA tools including the DIMIDE Clamp. We pride ourselves in the engineering, design, and quality of our products.
Founded by father and son team, Mike and Emmet Costen who are both structural engineers. DIMIDE started after struggling with typical clamps one too many times and knowing that we could put our talents together to create a superior product. Our goal was to create a clamp that didn't hurt our hands while delivering a secure grip every time. This is when Mike had an idea, we could use one of our impact wrenches to tighten the clamp. This would provide an ergonomic solution while delivering high clamp load. After putting his over 30 years of structural engineering experience to work, he came up with an optimized clamp design and we haven't looked back since!
