Vises & Clamps

Ah, crud—every time we yell that, our Uncle Skeetch comes running. He got frostbite in ’83 and his fingers have never looked the same. We should have said, “Hey, Gardeners!” because we wanted to tell you about the great set of...

Do things keep getting smaller or are our eyes just getting bigger? Either way, we could use some help. Little Helping Hand with magnifying glass and (2) adjustable arms with alligator clips to the rescue! The lens is just under 2-1/2” dia, and the...

That’s what they told us back in the service. Wait, that was the F Troop. Wait, that wasn’t us—that was a TV show. What the F? Anyway, this heavy-duty, F-style clamp has a quick-release trigger and measures 14" long overall. Jaws, with...
