Clamp Alert!

Xam:
For the clamp challenged like myself....HArbor freight is having a good sale on some pretty nice clamps right now.

I picked up 2 of the 6" clamps like these for $2.99 each.

http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=46806

The sizes range from 4"-36" with the most expensive one being $5.99.

Though they would not suffice if woodworking is your job, they seem more than adequate for the occasional project.

Sale ends 3-13 and is only good in store I believe.

Tahnok:
I love those kinds of clamps. Looks like I 'otta head on over to Harbor Freight. Thanks for the tip!

Xam:
NP tahnok! I always love a bargin and this one seemed pretty good. As mentioned...I don't think I would get them if woodworking were my trade...but they seem perfect for doing my MAME cab and occasional projects. I like the 2 I bought well enough that I am going to purchase more (different sizes) this weekend. I have a similar type (36") clamp of better quality...but it cost me like 30 bucks as opposed to the 5.99 these are on sale for. I'mna probably drop about $30 bucks on clamps Saturday :D

They have some other good deals going on also...but money prevents me from taking advantage.

Hoping I helped someone get some decent tools cheap,

 I have a few of those type from Homier.   2 of them snapped right in half at the top section upon clamping very hard with them  :(   

 I prefer the Big Lots clamps..  which look like caulking guns.   They are cheap, and work pretty darn good.   

 Maybe the HF clamps could be strengthened by placing a huge mound of epoxy in between the struts.

 Maybe I got a bad set..   Or maybe they get worse over time..  hard to say.  Still, the fact that they are plastic and the head isnt competely solid does pay a big factor.
