Wilson "C" clamp

[Chuckca]

I want to get a couple....!  Does anyone know who sells them?  Thanks!

I have bought "Wilton" clamps at WWGrainger.  Wonderful gadgets!

Could be anything--even what the British call G-Cramps.  (which we'd call a pretty basic C-Clamp--the kind that the working by yourself book thinks are great for making a handle to carry stuff up a ladder.)

those plastic "ratcheting" clamps--sometimes made by Wilton--are pretty nice--hold boards on a platform or sawhorse, if it's made right so one person can cut them easily.   But I'd never call them C, G or even L.

I like the "L-clamp".  I've noticed them on other folks' photo-posts, so they must have a following amongst us house-nuts.

The above doesn't give the "opening" dimension (duh!), the following does ... but no pictures:

Sorry bout that!  I thought they were called Wilson Clamps.  Where in the world did get this?

The Wilton clamp pictured by JRR is near exactly the same as Bessey "C" clamps available at welding shops such as Fresno Oxygen - again --not cheap.  

Note - don't try to hold a load on your pickup rack with them -- extended periods of vibration seem to loosen them and they fall off -- there goes the best part of $100.  Hmmm-- wonder who did that before?

Couldn't have been any of us (that includes Glenn).  

We're all very very good at learning from other people's experience.

I won't let it happen again. :'(
