BENSAER LLC Forges Ahead with Traditional Iron Tools for Modern Makers

SPOKANE, WA – BENSAER LLC, a Washington-based company dedicated to bringing back the art of traditional craftsmanship, is quickly becoming a go-to source for high-quality, hand-forged iron tools. Located at 522 W Riverside Ave STE N, Spokane, WA 99201-0580, and reachable at 785-209-3167, BENSAER isn't just selling tools – they’re reviving a legacy. Forget the mass-produced, quickly-broken stuff you find in big box stores. BENSAER focuses on creating tools built to last, using techniques passed down through generations. They've noticed a real shift in what people want – a hunger for authenticity, for things made with skill and care, and a desire to actually make things themselves. “We’re seeing a big resurgence in hobbies like blacksmithing, woodworking, gardening, and even just general DIY,” says a BENSAER spokesperson. “People are tired of disposable everything. They want something they can rely on, something with character, and something that will become a family heirloom.” So, what exactly are these forged iron tools and why are people getting so excited about them? Let’s break it down. The BENSAER Difference: What Makes Forged Iron Special? Forging isn't just making metal into a shape; it’s about manipulating it when it's hot and pliable. Think of a blacksmith hammering away at a glowing piece of iron. This process actually changes the structure of the metal, making it incredibly strong and resilient. Compared to tools that are simply cast or machined, forged iron tools have several key advantages: Strength: Forged iron develops a unique grain structure that makes it far stronger than other metals. This means less bending, breaking, and ultimately, fewer replacements. Durability: Because of that grain structure, forged tools hold an edge better, resist wear and tear, and can withstand years of heavy use. Repairability: If a forged tool does get damaged (which is rare), it’s often possible to reforge or repair it, extending its lifespan even further. Try doing that with a stamped steel tool! Balance & Feel: Many users report that forged tools just feel better in the hand. The weight is distributed differently, and the tools tend to be better balanced, making them easier and more enjoyable to use. What’s in the BENSAER Lineup? Tools for Every Maker. BENSAER offers a growing range of forged iron tools, catering to both seasoned professionals and enthusiastic beginners. Here’s a look at some of their key products: Blacksmithing Tongs: These aren’t your flimsy barbecue tongs. BENSAER's blacksmithing tongs are built to withstand the intense heat and force of a forge. They come in a variety of jaw shapes and sizes to hold different types of metal securely. “We’ve got tongs for everything from small rivets to large billets,” says the spokesperson. “We pay close attention to the jaw geometry to ensure a perfect grip every time.” Hardies & Pritchels: Essential for any blacksmith’s setup, these tools slot into the hardy hole of the anvil and are used for cutting, punching, and shaping metal. BENSAER offers a range of hardies and pritchels for various tasks, including fullers, swages, and chisels. Forging Hammers: A good hammer is the heart of any blacksmithing operation. BENSAER offers a selection of hammers with different weights, shapes, and handle materials to suit different forging styles. They've got everything from cross-peen hammers to rounding hammers, each carefully balanced for optimal control and efficiency. Garden Tools: BENSAER isn't just for blacksmiths. They also produce a line of rugged, long-lasting garden tools, including hoes, weeders, and cultivators. “We figured the same principles of strength and durability apply to gardening as they do to blacksmithing,” explains the spokesperson. “Why buy a flimsy plastic tool that will break after one season when you can invest in a forged iron tool that will last a lifetime?” Chisels & Punches: For precise metalwork, BENSAER’s chisels and punches are built to deliver clean, accurate results. These are hardened and tempered for optimal edge retention and durability. Custom Tool Options: Can’t find exactly what you’re looking for? BENSAER also offers custom forging services. They can work with you to design and create a tool tailored to your specific needs. “We love a challenge,” says the spokesperson. “If you can dream it, we can forge it.” Who is Buying BENSAER Tools?
