Yeah... I know... It's Harbor Freight!!!
But...
Today, I bought a couple of their 12" reach (that's 12" deep) 18" throat clamps for on sale for $9.99 ea. They're not a Bessey or a Jorgensen, but this is the kind of clamp I will only use sparingly, and when you need one with a deep reach, seems like nothing else will do the trick. It's a really heavily-built clamp, and at that price -- seems like a real deal -- nice rubber grip and heavy cast aluminum frame. Shows it's build quality (or lack thereof) a little in the threads, but overall not too bad. If you've ever found yourself wanting for a deep reach clamp, it might be a good time to pick one of these up.
Sure beats having the wife standing on top of a cabinet's middle 'til the glue dries -- poor gal. :cool:
