Years ago, I used to have a bunch of Irwin quick clamps. I got most of them on various sales. Now when I go to one of the big box stores, the prices seem insane. I also had some of the really good Jorgensen parallel jaw clamps (3' and 4' sizes) that seemed reasonably priced when I bought them. WHen I downsized, I got rid of all of that stuff. Now I need some.
I was in HD the other day and looking at the Dewalts which are what they replaced the Irwins with. The prices seem pretty crazy to me. I was looking around and found a set in the very back, but couldn't find a price tag for that set anywhere on a shelf. I checked online and the price seemed pretty good, so I decided to get them. Apparently, it's an old set that they no longer sell, because instead of paying $34.88 they rang up as $14.
It was a set like this.
