Default WTB Vise Grip Clamps

I am looking for some Irwin Vise Grip clamps.

8R, 9R, and 11R

The 8R is the duck bill sheet metal clamp.
The 9R is the square head clamp.
The 11R is a larger pinscer type clamp.

Must be Vise Grip brand, and in decent or better shape. I am already
bidding on some on ebay, but need several more.

E mail me.

Steve

Well, if we knew where you are, that might help! - GWE

In what way?

BTW, I live in Las Vegas, and had figured to pay for the shipping, too. We
have been accused of being hedonistic and backwards, but we DO have USPS and
UPS.

Why not just go to the local hardware store and buy them? Or order via
McMaster etc?
They aren't that hard to get a hold of? What am I missing here?

I went to Sears, Home Depot, Lowe's, and Ace looking for the 8r for some
sheet metal work. Ace was the only place that had any, and they wanted $23
per copy. Online, they are $14.70 plus shipping.

11R is about $17 to $23 per.

I need about a dozen, and that's about two hundred bucks.

Point is, I am cheap, and just wanted to get some for less than going out
and buying new. They last a long time, and the extra money feels good in my
pocket.

Some people may have some who don't want, need, or use them, and that money
would feel good in their pocket, too.

About the only thing more fun that money in a pocket is a pocket with a hole
in it ............... ;-0

An auction just ended where I bought four 11R's for $27.55 ..... that's $7
each for one that sells locally for $17 to $23. Freight will kick that up,
but the total will be far less than $68 to $92.

In your initial post you didn't specify anything about price, new or used.
Sorry I'm not able to read between the lines so I had to ask.

Another thing to think of is what is your time worth? If you can wait for
the occasional good buy on a used pair, fine. Sounds like your project isn't
one that has to be done immediately.

Good luck in your quest.
Lane
