which brand g-clamps and sash clamps??

Hi Guys,

time to buy more clamps (you can never have enough right?)

Currently I use Record G-Clamps, and love 'em. They are well made, and much better than some of the chinese imported ones.
Got plenty of quik-grips but they don't have the clamping strength of good old g-clamps.

I need more and was wondering where the cheapest place to buy them would be? Are there any other brands I should consider that have same quality at better price ?

Also, I want to get some sash clamps. From what I can see, t-bar type are the ones to have ????
Don't really want to spend a mint per sash clamp but don't want a cheapie either. Should I get t-bar over round pipe sash clamps?

Advice / suggestions on ones to get (and where to buy cheaply) would be appreciated.

Have a look at the last few pages of this.

If you like the record G clamps over the cheapies, mate stick with them.
They are dearer but they seem reasonably priced for what they are.
Have you seen the record adjustable g clamp? Very cool. not cheap though.
From What I have seen the recors stuff is well priced for good steel.
Have you tried the usual suspects.
carbatec, and others.
cheers
