Has anyone answered the question of whether or not they are the SAME
clamps?

I decided to go to my son's school fitness walk this afternoon rather
than go to Princess Auto.

But as I said earlier... I saw 60" aluminum bar clamps at House of
Tools a few months back on sale in the same price range. They were
garbage.

I've never ordered anything from Lee Valley and had garbage arrive.

So while $12 may be an incredibly low price for a 60" aluminum bar
clamp, what you're buying is a $12, 60" aluminum bar clamp.
