i was looking for a rack to hold clamps, and they all seem to be for bessey style and none for quick clamps. anyone know of any that hold the quick clamp?
Hey, if I did that I could also clamp them with the bar going up? I have 11 foot ceilings in the garage, so space above eye level is kind of wasted at the moment.same here i just have a 1×2 screwed to the wall and clamp the clamps to that,easy and you can clamp them tightly together,no wasted space.dont over think it.

good question burly,ive lost a few myself ? they will probably say,buy new ones ! or the replacements will cost half as much as a whole one.I got a question. Where can I get replacement yellow pads for my clamps. I ve lost a couple.

I have actually lost some as well, and somehow wound up with a spare from a wilton clamp vise on one, so it has 1 blue and 1 yellow padI got a question. Where can I get replacement yellow pads for my clamps. I ve lost a couple.

Clever thought SMP, I certainly didn't consider it. May not work for all clamps but a bloody clever alternative.Hey, if I did that I could also clamp them with the bar going up? I have 11 foot ceilings in the garage, so space above eye level is kind of wasted at the moment.

A blob of blu tac and a piece of MDF is the honest way to replace them.I got a question. Where can I get replacement yellow pads for my clamps. I ve lost a couple.

I just ordered some from Amazon. The description goes by "mini", etc, and gives dimensions of the pads. I have also epoxied cork on some that were missing pads.I got a question. Where can I get replacement yellow pads for my clamps. I ve lost a couple.

jack say it aint so ! i dont about that ive had some times used every clamp ive got,and ive got a lot.Clamps are over bought versus the need..

Amazon has these QUICK-GRIP clamp pads but they are $13.51 for 4 pads. The Irwin website lists the part numbers if you want to search for others. Depending upon which size clamps you have you may find some cheaper ones.I got a question. Where can I get replacement yellow pads for my clamps. I ve lost a couple.

I mean sure, you could add weight to the boat and use to to press 2 board together, but a clamp seems like a better tool for woodworking.I sold the 24 kreg bar clamps and bought an aluminum boat. It s used 3 times a week…

ill get you my address,just send em to me,the least i can do for another jock !Still have too many clamps. Not enough rod and reels.
How many clamps does one need? I ve got jorgensen pipe kits sitting in drawers because I don t need them. When it was my job i can see their value, in a hobby ship too many can be too much. .

Hey Pottz, I get half, I started the thread. And Jack, any tools you don't use at least 3 times a week please send our way as well. Don't want all those crusty old tools interfering with your fishing rod collection. Thanks in advance!Still have too many clamps. Not enough rod and reels.

Sir, you are either a noviceClamps are over bought versus the need..
- JackDuren
Sir, it's obvious you are a born again novice woodworker and a seasoned mariner… or you have a heap of apprentice sailors to help you during those dicky glue-ups.Why are you using every clamp? Leaving them on for extended times or just don t have enough to complete the project?
I hate to pull all the clamps off the rack only to return them, I often start putting them on and after enough time has gone by I rotate.
I sold several because they did nothing. Sitting on a rack, when I could use the money for something else..
