Any solutions to fix this old Williams 403 C-clamp?

Great finds!

Great call! Thanks for the low price alert at Lowe’s. Just ordered it. Have had this on my mind for a while.

Klein 7” needle nose for me. My favorite needle nose. I have a pair of Knipex needle nose. Great when you need a little flex, but first time I tried to use them for a tough task, I realized they weren’t made for it vs. Klein’s.

I rarely use 1/2” drive. If 3/8” won’t do it I use impact wrench. I’m not a mechanic though. Love 1/4” drive and 3/8” drive though.

Sparky said what I was going to suggest.

I do same as sarge. Electrical bag, plumbing bag. I try to find my bags gently used at flea markets. Same with tool duplicates I can keep in dedicated bags. Less trips to the shop. Bag also allows me to throw in anything I might need from my shop to take to the project. Flea markets have been...

I’ve seen some guys use and adjustable wrench set to the tubing size.

I know you said no to wrench rolls, but I like the bucket boss brand of wrench rolls for mobile storage and use. Harbor freight wrench rings work too.

Great scores, OP! I picked up a Klein set last year. Now where near as nice as that one. I knew it was missing a piece. Now I know it’s the small extension. I’ll be on the look out for an inch and a half extension.

That’s a good choice. I use the Irwin version. Same except the colors. I like this better than the Klein’s. Husky 6 in 1 is also one of my favorites.

Had a good morning at the flea market. Helped my favorite tool vendor set up after we looked around. $60 brought home the following: pipe dope and plumber’s grease, like new Irwin GV8 and GV10, empire 9” torpedo level, estwing 10” moulding puller, 51 piece gearwrench 1/4” drive set, and bucket...
