    Do you use mini clamps? I don't mean the big vises that you attach to your work bench but the small mini clamps. If you do which brand do you use? I'm looking for new ones... my old ones broke. Companies just don't make things to last a long time anymore.

    I have clamps in a variety of sizes. I have picked them up at garage and estate sales over the years. I don't know if they're even available today through normal outlets. They do come in handy for all sorts of projects.

    I should start looking at yard/estate sales. I bet the older ones are a lot stronger then the ones they sell now. I just can't believe how quick these things break!

    Great idea, looking at estate and yard sales. I do have several mini clamps. Most I bought at Sear's. They don't last long though! You are right on, things are not made the way they used to be.
