Hi

Makro have a set of four clamps on offer at the moment for £4:99 +VAT.

Having bought a set today - don't touch them with a barge pole - tried them
out and the triggers snapped on 3 out of 4 without putting anything more
than a firm handshake pressure on.

Mine are going back.

You don't say what type these are Dave, but if it's a trigger type
that you are looking for, both the Quick Grip and Wolf ones are fairly
reasonable.

Quick Grip are quite readily available - I've seen them in B&Q and
Axminster carry them. Wolf ones periodically show up in teh DIY
sheds often on offer, and they are also quite reasonable and generally
cheaper.

None of these types are as good as the substantial clamps like Bessey
K series,(don't have the price tag either) but for light to medium
work, they are OK.
