May be worth checking the local Tractor Supply, a few have been clearancing out there welding clamps. Ended getting all the clamps below for $48....

What brand are they, and what region are you in? I'm going to call my store, that's a great deal!

Looking at the tags, they appear to be their house brand. More than likely, made in China. I have a few pairs of them I bought to weld with, so I don't care about getting welding berries stuck to the threads or ruining them.

I looked at some of those at TSC today. Yes, China made. A friend of mine has a few of the big 'F' clamps and they're not bad. Would be a lot better if the screw was copper instead of steel.

I bought a couple of the imported F style from Princess Auto. Should have known better. The thread tolerances were so poor when you tightened the screw on the workpiece it jammed and wouldn’t UNSCREW.

Looks like you have a nice rack to hang those all on, or slide off :lol_hitti


I just bought the 2.5 gallon 41% Glyphosphate for 20 bucks at tsc on their clearance shelf.

As much as I don't love using it, that is good deal. I'll stop by mine for that alone. Thanks

Add some antisieze to the threads, should help keep them from locking up...

Good advise, but on close inspection the screw’s threads were poorly cut. I returned them.

The cover was even cheaper, ended up being $5.
