No, they don't have them, even though they continue to offer them. I tried them last year.

I also tried Tool Zone, based on Justin's recommendation above. I placed the order last week, and as is typical, they called me today and told me they were discontinued, and they would refund my money.

I was at my local tool store and saw some clamps that look similar to what you are looking for. They were made by Strong Hand Tool. The clamps had the regular sliding lever thing you find on c-clamp to tighten by hand, but the end of it was hex shaped to fit a socket.

I didn't see them on their web site, so I emailed them. We'll see.

So, you do mostly finish/cabinet work, is that right? You don't need a large Metabo grinder, do you?

Thank you, but no.

Maybe the plumbers didn't buy them. Good luck.

I checked the Woodcraft web site and did not find them. However if you have contact info for the local store where you saw them, I can give them a call and have them shipped.

It's Woodcraft in San Carlos, Ca

I just called Woodcraft in San Carlos. The gentleman there seemed helpful, but insists that they do not have them, and can't order them.

I think they are a little slow

I saw them the other day, two of them. I'll be there this weekend, on either Saturday or Sunday. I'll look.

Check your Messages, I'l send my contact info

FYI,

I tried to add some to my collection 2 years ago without success. I ran into the same issue with vendors listing them but then cancelling the order. Most are still listing them which is really irritating.

I tried the Plumbers surplus link when I saw it here last year. Same story. Are these sellers all incompetent or just lazy? You would think when they find out they actually don't have the product and can't get it, they would remove the listing or at least show they are unavailable.
