    I have 8 of them that I have never had a use for. I am pretty sure I didn't pay anywhere near $13 a piece for them!

    I have some of these, and you should not mistake their construction for some common plastic. They are very sturdy, feels like glass reinforced polycarbonate. That said, I bought them on sale a while back, and they are handy to have. Yes, you can make them from plywood. Or use angle iron. But they aren't a bad thing to have around. I got them because it was easier, even if more expensive, to have them around when I need them.

    I got a dozen Rocklers from a guy for a buck each, including the clamps. Haven't used them yet, but its only been about three years. I keep forgetting they are on the shelf.

    Sorry Andrew,

    If I sold them, I would probably need them for sure. I know I will dig them out and use them some day. I have a squaring board I use for boxes and drawers, and just haven't needed them yet.

    About a week ago I dismantled an aluminum storm door to send to the scrap yard...
    In each corner of it were 4 pieces that look almost like the bought ones...
    Except they are 3 1/2" per side and 1" thick..
    Should be good for smaller projects..

    I believe you need to be a contributor, $6 per year, to see images. Plus this is an old thread and many pictures are cross referenced from other sources (websites) which are no longer available.
