Purchased the four pack at Lidcomb Bunnings just one hour ago - $21.90. They were right out in the open too.

Glad to see some of you take advantage of the cheap price's of the four pack of clamps. I might even go back and grab another pack.....you never seem to have enough.....
Re- JIT. I work in the automotive industry which has embraced this system. The amount of time wasted standing around waiting for another section to supply parts/sub-assemblies gets beyond a joke on occasions. Must cost the company a fortune. The systems works great when everythings moving along but have a breakdown or a maintainence session and it falls in a heap.

I got a 4 pack this arvo, $21.90. They were hanging on the clamp wall right next to 2 pack., which was priced at $26.90, no price on the 4 pack. So took it cash register, had it scanned, $21.90.
They obviously don't want to sell too many!

The big B at Burleigh has them in the specials bins sitting right out front of the tools shop. None in the racks.

Hmmm... I have to drive past a Bunnings on the way home from the wood show today, if I have any money left I might stop in for a look
It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

Once again the forum comes through
Grabbed 2 packs today. Thats 8 for the price of 3 purchased singularly.
There's no doubt about it. This forum has saved me a motza since I joined and I thank you all.

So are the 4-pack clamps exactly the same ones as in the 2-pack?
Sometimes these multi-packs are packaged to look the same, but when you open the hermetically sealed plastic you discover that they are actually much inferior. I suspect that some of the clamps people on this forum report seeing at mum-and-dad style hardware stores for closer to $30 may actually be the XP versions, which are beefier.
I know I got fooled with a 3-pack of Supatool shifting spanners once...

The clamps look pretty much the same as my old ones - now blue instead of black - and labelling a little different. I couldn't detect any differences in size, specifications or quality.
Both have a little badge on the sliding jaw that says "US Patent 4926722"; on the other side of this label the old clamp has a badge saying "Made in USA; the new clamp has nothing there. On the packaging of the new clamps in most inconspicuous small print were the magic words "Made in China".

My wife and I went to M10 just down the road from us, to look for something for father's day for the Father-in-law and while there, remembering all of the comments here, I found the 4 pack on display, $26.00, just down a bit from the 2 pack, same price. I mentioned all of discussion here to my wife....guess what I got from my daughter for father's day, yep a 4 pack.
so now I have know the way to get the things I need, just take my wife to M10 before the major events, birthday, Father's day, anniversary and Christmas, and point out the things I want without saying I want them....table saw here we come.
