That is definitely a monster clamp. I need to find better ways to store my 50"s
Does highlight the point though. I always found proto to be a pretty good deal after the coupon as well. Still some good brands to be had even with exclusions. I do miss the glory days of 30% off everything.
I'm going to buy or make a parallel clamp rack. I don't have a ton but I slowly add more as I find deals or feel the need. As I ramp up my woodworking shop in the basement I'll likely need even more. I figure something like this:
Or this:
seems like they would do the trick.
Proto is the ultimate value for me. Almost all of my impact sockets and a lot of other misc. stuff (breaker bars, indexing pry bars, etc.) is made in the USA Proto that I've gotten from Zoro for anywhere from 15-25% off (been a long time since I've had a 30% - those were the days indeed).
Key thing to watch out for, for those reading, is that most of the part numbers have dual listings - one under 'Proto' and one under 'Stanley Proto' - and the 'Proto' one is always the same or often substantially cheaper than the 'Stanley Proto' listing, even though they are the identical items.
For example:
3/8 in Drive Impact Socket Set, SAE, 15 pcs/15 Piece 6 Point 3/8" Drive Impact Socket Set
Proto - J72106 - $67.83
https://www.zoro.com/proto-38-in-drive-impact-socket-set-sae-15-pcs-j72106/i/G6091854/
Stanley Proto - J72106 - $116.56
https://www.zoro.com/stanley-proto-...38-drive-impact-socket-set-j72106/i/G6435537/
Proto isn't my go-to for everything, but for stuff that's going to take a beating, it's high up there!
