Not at all like this one, no.

Just image 4" diameter perfect circle/ring, made out of piece of 4mm
(1/8) or so wire, slit so that ends can be moved apart and the steel,
being springy, will try to get the ends together again. Nothing more,
nothing less.

Was wondering if I can find it in the States:

the clamp is a slit ring of may be 4" OD, made out of
1/8 or so, spring-tempered steel. Works wonders when clampling
elaborate/intiricate woodwork.

Something like the fourth item on http://www.fine-tools.com/rahm.htm ?





Not what you are asking for, but I have made similar clamps from a
piece of PVC pipe, 4" ID, cut into appo. 1" "slices" then cut once
radially so they can be spread open into a "C" shape. I made about 20
of them from a waste piece of pipe I took out of a construction site
dumpster.
