    cheap toggle clamps ($4.50 each)

    FYI: I recently bought some toggle clamps on ebay for I think a pretty good price. Here is a listing from the same seller (not affiliated).

    For about $4.50 per clamp (including shipping) it is just over 1/3 the price you would pay at Woodcraft or Rockler. They are IMHO a good buy if anyone is looking for a deal on some clamps for jigs, etc.

      Did you get them yet? Let us know.
      Seems too good to be true... like his pneumatic staple gun for $10...

              I had bought some of these from I think the same guy awhile back, they are so small that I threw them in a bin. I wouldn't buy them again.

                  Yes, I received six of them last week. And they work just fine for my application (hold downs on DP table). They are small, just like the small T-handle version you get at woodcraft (exact same size from what I can tell). So, with that in mind I can recommend them.

                  If you do get some, be sure to apply some 3-1 oil to all the pivots. They are a little tight straight from the packaging. Enjoy!

                      By bin, do you mean trash bin or storage bin? I'd take them off the hands for the cost of shipping if you'd like to get rid of 'em

                          Storage bin...I was going to keep them there until I can find an application that I can use them with...but they are too small for anything that I wanted to use them for.

                          Let me see if I can figure out something to do with them, otherwise I will PM you.
                          Thanks,

                              Thanks for the replies everyone. I found some on e-bay that fit my needs...

                              They look similar to the Rockler ones and certainly big enough (4" clamp arm / 500lb)
                              Ordered 6 at $4.00 Shipping was high, but still a good deal.
