Not sure how the new ones compare, but I don't see a time when I will need to replace them because they are good clamps.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13791412389234173305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5591297260116621731.post-81282120929527155962013-03-15T18:06:21.292+01:002013-03-15T18:06:21.292+01:00Best advice I heard: buy the best tools you can af...Best advice I heard: buy the best tools you can afford.

I just hate it when I have to use it for some project, so I will nearly always try to find a differetnt way of doing the job, to avoid using it. It has helped me finish one project when it was newly bought, but that tool was just way too cheap.<br /><br />By the way, I really like the clamp in the picture. What brand is it?Jonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5591297260116621731.post-62964602552174372332013-03-15T11:38:40.557+01:002013-03-15T11:38:40.557+01:00I agree 100% with you.
