This is a wild deal. Both Klein magnetic wire puller systems are in a bundle for $46, which is less than the cost of either bought separately.

Have you used this? Reviews seem very mixed, a lot of "doesn't work" and "magnet is too weak".

………. Save your hard earned money.I've used the wheelie handle model with moderate success but fish tape is much easier.

Pony 8" c clamp. 63 % off.
Grabbed a couple. Thanks.
I bought a couple as well.
Don't know how many of you are on the Dewalt platform, but i snagged the 5ah Powerstack last month for $118 with a charger. You can get them for $99 right now if you pick CoastalTool as the seller.
Nabbed 2, nice. Thanks!

I too ordered 2 of the 8" clamps. Hope they're worth $8 each.
looks like a decent deal w/good thin gauge capability:

I too am on the bandwagon for 2 8" clamps. This thread has a habit of spending my money!

The HF equivelant goes for $9 and I would hope they're at least as good as those.

Just picked up 5, thanks for sharing the link. I know there not Wilton but that price is hard to pass up.
is "pony" some name in c clamps? Amazon link says made in China. Still cheaper to your door than HF but am I missing something?

So they are all the Chinese ones or it's a **** shoot?
Whoops, the latest offering is for Pony clamps, whereas the previous $8 clamps were Bessy. Pony use to be a big name in clamps, until they sold out to China’s Greatstar a few years ago.
The Bessy ones I got were China. Haven’t recieved the Pony ones yet, but I think they stopped US production completely in 2015 or so. The Bessy China ones were fine.

I think you will find that there is a great difference between the two clamps. One is a lot more clamp than the other. The Bessy clamp will weigh in a lot heavier than these Ponys. Look at the screws, the clamping force isn't going to be anywhere close. Don't get me wrong, Pony makes an identical, heavier duty line too, but this isn't it. I am sure these Pony clamps will be fine for most but there is no comparing the two.
It's a long-time brand made by The Adjustable Clamp Company. They were made in the USA for quite a long time, but even they fell for the lure of the CCP government subsidization "free money."

The Bessey ones that were posted in the spring also had copper plated spindles.

Woot, not AWD, but a bunch of OPE, hose reels, cord reels, etc.
Not really sure how much angle iron cost these days but it seems to be much cheaper than what's available at Home Depot.

I almost bought it after seeing the first post. I'd probably try it for the $16 each deal, but the HD site is showing them at full price, not on local inventory. (I know that's not always accurate, but Klein clearance items around here have been picked clean for quite a while).
I too have my doubts, especially since one of the DIY jobs I've been postponing involves running a new wire alongside an existing one.

Shrewd1, great job staying on this one!
I sure hope anyone that purchased the Pony Adjustable Clamp 1480-C Adjustable C-Clamp, 8-Inch for $7.79 can see the error of their way when comparing this model Bessey to that model Pony. If I didn't need them today, for essentially the same money, I would rather take the chance on getting the Bessy in the future vs having the Pony now. You won't believe the difference between these two models.
