CHEAP eBay clamps

Jun 03, 2005 0 Replies

There are 6 "vise grip style" clamps in this auction, including an 18" one! $21 shipped. How bad could they be? Could they even be usable? What about if one considered them to be clamp kits - could they be made usable?



Lets see, what could be wrong with them:



- the steel could be so inferior to bend or break under load,



- the fit could be so bad that the jaws don't line up,



- the joints could be so loose that the jaws wander,



- the threads could be so rough that adjustment is difficult, ???



How in the world can these be manufactured, shipped across the Pacific, middlemen be paid, and still only be $21 delivered?
