But Leon... think of the great OSHA/science information you got
from a comment on clamps! I was surprised though, that the
engine left the track the second post after yours...

LOL..... A well thought out post brings the possibility of many
tangents.

Yeah, right. Here is the way it appears to me:

Leon: I have some tips on how to use and maintain clamps. 1st
response: My brother in law has a ton of clamps. 2nd response: Hah!
My sister in law weighs a ton! 3rd response: She is lucky the nanny
state police don't get on her about her weight! 4th response: Screw
safety devices. We may not be forced to use them yet, but the nanny
state could make us one day. Down with retail tyranny and heavy
handed politicians! I am going to cut off a finger before they can
get to me to try to keep me from exercising my right to do it! 5th
response: I like pie! 6th response: Me too!

I knew about the compression withing the clamp head and its
grinding feel after use.

I had no doubt that you would already know this.

Well... with 40 plus years of doing this stuff for days/weeks/years
on end you are bound to learn something. Even then, note that I
pointed out someone showed me how to take care of that problem. That
could be one of those things (like my comment on my Jorgensons) that
I just never figured out.

The learning curve can be cut well in half if you work with hundreds
of different professionals all in the same field. It's the small
stuff like the tips like the one you posted that are //so useful//
yet go unnoticed.

Unnoticed being the key word. Or possibly the clamps are not being used
enough to need any TLC, YET. ;~)
