Just send me money
for this brilliant idea I have had.
It really drives me nuts trying to put the bag back onto the dusty when I have to emtpy it.
I have just thought of a great solution .. magnets. 4 magnets around the edge of the plastic bag will be sufficient to hold it all in position while I position and adjust the clamp.
No applause .. really .. just send me money.

I have 3 simple wire hooks between the top and bottom clamps - if you only ever undo one clamp at a time they don't fall down. Maybe combining this idea with the magnets will work even better.

I was using tape. The rotten stuff was just as likely as not to just fall off due dust on the surfaces of the steel and the plastic.
Magnets are the way to go.
Tape is old fashioned and outdated. What are you, a Luddite or something?

Clothes pegs? Get real Groggy, how low tech can you get? That is almost as bad as Skew's tape.

Here I was thinking that if it worked then it is a good idea!
How silly am I...

It's a great idea Bob. And funny you should mention it. I was looking through an old mag last night, and one of the tips in the front was this great idea about using magnets to hold the bag in place while you put the clamp on, and I thought .. that's a bloody good idea!
I'll try and find the mag, and let you know where the tip came from so you can send them some money

Still, it is a bloody brilliant idea, Bob. Even though I won't be sending you a cheque any time soon
I'm always amazed when I look through those old mags at how many good ideas there are, though some get repeated often (how many times have you seen the dowel-on-a-ply ROS disc holder?)

My dusty is outside my shed. With the hook arrangement I can change bags in the dark and don't have to fish about for the clamps or bother about where they go. Originally Posted by Bob Willson

You wish
Hate to tell you this but I also have used magnets - from the first empty when the tape I tried - failed
Don't know whether I had the thought or had seen it somewhere - Perhaps Great minds really do .............
