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.

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