I you're in the Chicago area I can give you a few and also have the tool.
Sorry can't ship.

a generous offer, I appreciate it.

I got some clamps from McMaster, and I have a 10 dollar end nipper from Harbor Freight - going to try dulling the blades and using it to secure the clamp. I have 25 to practice on.
