Title: Metal spring clamps $0.99
Post by: TroutGuide on February 26, 2011, 03:15:00 PM
Just a heads up.  My Home Depot has metal spring clamps I think they are 2" for $.99 They are as strong as the ones on the shelves for $3.00 or more.  I just bought 30 so it is time to get building.  These are the right size for a build and all metal with rubber covered tips.  They are in a bulk display not on the sheves.

yeah i picked these up a few months ago. i was walking around the kids swingset aisle , and saw a bo with the green plastic covers on it for 99c , and when i stopped through the clamp aisle , they were 2.99 ...


i only bought 2 , but they have served me very well. i need some spray bedliner for the baby's power wheels , so im goin to spray the clamps cause the rubber disintegrated quickly...


great clamps for the price though...

I can tell the covers won't last but if I use pressure blocks or a metal cover strip it should not mater and I already have some plasti dip if I need to. Not as good as 30 C clamps but a heck of a lot cheaper

I just picked up (12) of the plastic type with rubber pads for 10$ at Tractor Supply tonight. I think I have a clamp addiction, that makes about 50 or so in the shop, not counting c clamps, ratchet clamps and bar clamps...........
