Was by my local Rockler today and saw this great deal on Irwin 6″ Quick clamps–
Included the link but they are available at the stores also–
Usually these are 20 bucks for a pair on sale so 4 for 20 is a great deal if you use these as much as I do.
Remember–He who dies with the most clamps–WINS!!!!

Mike, Lowes has the 4-pack for $19.xx too. Or if you're not the greedy kind, you can settle for the 2-pack for $19.xx, but for me it was a no brainer to get the 4 pack. The 4-packs were on the end of an isle near the lumber section. The 2-packs were with the other clamps.
But they were the mini-6", not the regular 6".

Get all the 4-packs you want, Stan is still gonna win.

The bottom clamp was the one in the 4pack. Last March they had the deal that you buy a pair of them and you get a free subscription to fine woodworking.

I was reminded of the thread by all of the renewal cards on my FWW magazine. Been keeping an eye out for a clamp deal to renew the mag.
Is this your whole collection?
My collection seems to constantly expand and shrink. I'm about to the point of spray painting my name on them...not that it would do any good.

My collection seems to constantly expand and shrink.Yeah hear ya there---Guess I have one thing going for me in that when I do installs I am alone on the job as everyone is waiting for the cabinets to go in.Plumber, Electrian, CT guys, Floor installers Etc. Hows about that for some pressure. Cabinet guys---Jeez always a bottle neck :-)Of all my various sizes and styles of clamps these get used the most. With these 4 that gets these kinds up to a even dozen.One trick I have used when I know others will be around is to throw the clamps on different styles around the kitchen and No one is guttzy enough to take one off and use it for fear that they MAY be holding the cabinet up---Of course they aren''t but they don't know that---(smirk)Mike" I reject your reality and substitute my own"

Heard that somewhere but my nearest Lowes is a good 45 miles. Besides I dig Rockler and any chance I get to buy there verses on of the big-boxes I will--I too have see the regular clamps and they are just to big--can't get a mean grip going on the big handles which is why I like these so much--No way I am ever going to die if my clamp collection is any indication of my end.On the plus side my Cylinder index and Clamp Quation are roughly equal--Mike" I reject your reality and substitute my own"

Thanks for the heads up. I have a bad habit of leaving clamps on top of cabinets. It only becomes a problem when I'm cleaning up, and the sub-rail/crown is already run to the ceiling.
I keep 6-8 in my clamp bucket, and they are the size I use the most.
