    Default Cheap bar clamps

    3 different size quick release bar clamps are going for $6.95 each at the Hills Clearance Centre in Riverwood.
    they have 12" (300mm), 24" (600mm) and 48" (1200mm).
    Only popped in for a look, should have taken my wallet with me:mad:
    Gonna have to go back and get me some of those big'uns - maybe 10 should do for starters

    Where in Riverwood is this magical place? I'm staying at Revesby and it sounds like I might need to pay a visit....

    Ahh, I know exactly where it is. A mate used to live off Wiggs Road. Thanks Gaza. Looks like I have something to do on Thursday morning before I go out to Hare & Forbes. Hope there's some clamps left. Hands off you lot!!

    HB, are they any good? If so I may have to wander over to Riverwood tomorrow, since I work at Oatley.

    They are very good.
    they are a quick release, trigger type of bar clamp. looks like a spear gun without the pointy bit
    they have heaps of the little ones but limited number of the big ones and medium sized ones.
    Played with them before I bought a couple and they clamp very tightly. There's also a couple of G-clamps in stock too.
    I should be on commission with these guys

    HB, I just happened to be going by Riverwood at lunch today . . . A set of each, they feel solid enough. I shall test them against my "Quick Clamps".

    A point of interest, the maxamin openings:
    12" opens 305mm
    24" opens 615mm
    48" opens 1230mm

    I also got two 6" G clamps, but i thik they're onto you . . . a bloke wanders in each week, with notepad in hand, recording all the prices of the triton and associated tools . . .I told them that you only say good things about them . . . wish I had more "Toy" money for today! Greenie for you to thankyou for the tip.

    Doh! my covers blown....Maybe I'd better start wearing dark glasses and a trenchcoat
    Glad to be of help and I hope they are of good value. I've only tested mine on my hand so far. IT HURT!
    My wife told me it served me right for being so stupid......she just doesn't understand me
    Not sure when I'll be able to get in there next.
