I spend a lot of time tinkering in my tool room. Better than sliding around this place, making stupid comments for a rise. I spend a lot of time in my garage. Restoring my tractor good to have a little get away in life 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken's Deputy 4,456 Posted April 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 Fukk sake, GD! Actually if you study my last post? There's a shit ton of infantile innuendo material in there! Just can't be avoided! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kanny 19,382 Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 Love a bit of clamping 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken's Deputy 4,456 Posted April 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 Kanny wins it! I actually gasped when I saw those Beautiful sashers! Not Record, I'm guessing? See, I just hanker for the Old England I once knew. When you could buy tools you could hand down, Today, to your Grandchildren! Prime example; My Stanley (UK) made 'Yankee' screwdriver. Probably fukking near as old as me. Perfect! Battery never runs out. I get to feel Part of the job. Doesn't effect my hearing. So on. Some generic spreader clamp? Squeeze the handle that little bit too hard? Pop! Chuck it and buy a new one! Chink sash types? Fraction of a turn too much? Strip! I fukking Hate Shit!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Must say though, those old G Clamps don't do it for me. More metal workers stuff, I'd say. Todays Spreaders are good, with wood. But, I already know to question their pressure load. Was pumping the handle on one a while back? Something just went and that was all she wrote If it’s one of these types the pin inside breaks it’s plastic holder and the trigger just stays back, if you take the side cover off and drill a hole through were the pin goes then put a nut and bolt right through, you can give it a bit more welly and save an otherwise useless clamp, I,ve broke a few with my passion hands , 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ken's Deputy 4,456 Posted April 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 Greyman, that's the sort! Christ, don't tell me you busted an Irwin though?! Those things are brutally expensive and Should be quality. But, yeah. They call them " Spreader Clamps ". And I'll be trying to get mine apart, tomorrow. As said; Great Tip! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Gain 1,759 Posted April 9, 2021 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 Managed to get a Record Holdfast clamp about 20 years ago, brand new, in exchange for a turned Iroko 10 inch fruit bowl, and matching goblet off a bloke at work. Fantastic piece of kit. Band clamps are handy for all sorts of stuff, you can even remove the jaws and clamp segments tightly if making segmented bowls for turning, although I have just bought a Draper Hose Clamp Set, you get 3 metres and 8 fittings and make up whatever length suits 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
