Thanks for the tip guys!
Thanks for the tip guys!
...just ordered 8 for $35.92 + tax. Total $38.43 thanks to Mike for supplying the Promo code for free shipping. I thought I was on the Rockler email list but I guess it was just from the local store as I got no notice of this bonanza. Now I'll be on the National list as well and let all Y'all know if any other great deals happen by.
Happy New Year to all!!!
I got 8 of them and thanks Mike for the free shipping code.!!!
Thanks & Happy Wood Chips,

Thanks for the heads-up. Just ordered 6. Only recently discovered how great this clamp is.
I ordered 8 with the free shipping. Thanks to all for the heads up and the shipping code.

I got 8 of them too! Thanks for the tip of the deal and the free shipping code! Happy New Year all.

Thanks for the heads up. I now have 8 each headed my way!!
How would these clamps be used differently than say a 12" K-body or Jensen grip clamp? I got my e.mail, but I hardly see them used in pics here...unless I'm missing something.
Thanks
John, check your spam folder - my email was there - first time too for Rockler.
Greg, I use my handscrews for special fixtures, and have modified some to hold cylindrical items by notching the jaws. Also, they can't be beat for non-parallel clamping. Handscrews can also exert a great amount of pressure over a large surface - more than any of my other clamps (can't say about K-bodies though, don't own any).
FWIW,
Wes
Jeff and Mike thanks...8 are coming my way...now I better make something

Great Mark! I was tempted to have my wife order 8 more!!Originally Posted by Mark Singer
Question: Would it make sense to create a forum subject category for items found on great sales? That way, the group's participants could alert the rest of us of such finds and have the alerts grouped together in its own category. If not that, then maybe encourage folks to use a standardized subject line such as "Sale Alert" and list it in the General category. Hey, with SMC's membership, we could maybe even 'move the market!'
Thanks, Wes. I can see the use for modified ones in the way you do.
Does anyone else have other uses or links to pics? I don't want to miss this sale/free shipping if I can see their value in my clamp inventory.
If it was in a separate forum, I probably wouldn't keep as good of a track on the sales in that forum (not bad for my budget.) I'm happy with the notices being interspersed in the general woodworking forum. Although I do agree a standard title would help single them out.Originally Posted by Jeff Wright
BTW Jeff, thanks for tempting me to spend more money that I really shouldn't have. (4 are on the way.)
Good tip. Thanks. Just ordered
