Spring clamp source

[dvm27]

I find these spring clamps to be very handy but the two I have are worn down. Anyone know of a source for thes @ 4" length spring clamps?

Greg:

I have purchased these at both Menard's and Home Depot.  I can't believe anybody only has 2 clamps of any one type. 

I routinely use many at a time and have about 24 of this type alone.  Like Norm Abrams says, 'You can never have too many clamps!"

I bought these in 2014 and couldn't be any happier. Unfortunately they are not available anymore

But these are a nice alternative

Oops, sorry. There are no like the ones in your photos in these sets. Still... it may be good to consider.

I recommend THESE. Made from aluminium, they can be very easily cut and/or bent into whatever size/shape you need - and they're cheap . I've been using them for years. Only drawback is that they are fairly small (about 1.5" maximum clamping), but they're mostly used for smaller work anyway.

Thanks, all, especially RichardG. Just ordered ten. Is MSW a great site or what!!!

 

And yes, Kurt. I grew up watching Norm Abrams and Bob Veeeeeela and the current crew. You can certainly never have enough clamps for sure. Funny thing is, I've spend thousands of hours watching this show and feel like I could handle any home related project - but never do!

If it's 2AM and you're running low on clamps,  try cutting rings off PVC pipe and then cut the rings to form a "C".  A 10ft length will provide ~200 x 1/2" wide clamps, or many 1/4" wide clamps.  You can also nibble the 'jaws' with diagonal wirecutters to a narrower profile if needed.
