100mm one-handed clamps - where to buy?
I've been using some borrowed small one-handed clamps and they've been
so useful that I want to buy some; I need about 15 so would prefer that the price was not too painful ... any suggestions? |

Have a look at Page 777 of the latest Screwfix catalogue. They have a variety from a fiver upwards. I've bought even cheaper (and nastier!) ones in the past from Robert Dyas - but can't see any in their current line-up. Occasionally, the likes of Lidl and Aldi do sets, but they're usually of assorted sizes. -- Cheers, Roger ____________ Please reply to Newsgroup.

Not such an unusual requirement if constructing curved structures like a fake arch as a theatre prop, or a canoe or a guitar (not that you would want 100 mm ones on a guitar) |

The pair I got as a distress purchase from B&Q were more distress than they were worth. Im not particularly strong, but first time I tightened one, the handle snapped off. So its worth paying something for robustness. -- Jón Fairbairn http://www.chaos.org.uk/~jf/Stuff-I-dont-want.html (updated 2012-10-07) |
