Withdrawn Workshop Downsizing - Clamps, Cramps & Squeezy Things

[Yojevol]

We've taken the momentous decision to downsize our home, garden and workshop. It's not going to happen for a few years yet but we want to get the property ready for sale should something interesting turn up.
In recent times I've been concentrating on smaller, more intricate projects. No more large lumps of timber for big furniture projects. So I'm now comfortable with the notion of off-loading my larger bits of kit.
All these items can be collected from GL19. Cash on collection.
Let's kick off with:-

Sash Cramps
Lot1. A set of really heavy duty cramps consisting of 1 x 78", 1 x 42", 1 x 41" and a 48" extension bar. As can be seen, they are of differing designs

but have a common T-Bar section which will take the extension piece.
£160 the lot

Lot2. A pair of 78" Record T-Bar sash cramps. Just the job for door projects.
£80 the pair

This is a collection of medium duty T-Bar sash cramps of Record, Woden and Redeta origin. All similar quality. All working OK. Ripe for renovation if you're that way inclined.
Lot3 2 x 54" £30
Lot4 1 x 51" £15
Lot5 1 x 42" £12
Lot6 2 x 37" £20
Lot7 1 x 36" £10

These are a number of cheap but robust steel T-Bar cramps
Lot8 2 x 42" £16
Lot9 2 x 30" £12
Lot10 2 x 30" £12
Lot11 2 x 30" £12

​

Lot12 A pair of loose head cramps on steel bars. Both 42" capacity. Bars can be easily joined to double the capacity. The red heads are steel and the blue ones aluminium

£20 the pair

My all time favourite sash clamps. Made in the USofA by none other than the UNIVERSAL CLAMP CORPORATION.

F - Clamps

Lots of F-clamps to go. An example of each in the pic. From L to R:-

Lot16 1 off. A massive 20" capacity x 8" depth. I've used this mainly for its reach; getting some pressure into the middle of a panel £15

Lot18 1 off. A sturdy long capacity clamp 39" x 5" £12

Lot21 2 off. As Lot20 but this is the 8" version £24 for 2
Lot22 2 off As Lot21 £24 for 2

Speed Clamps

From L to R

Lot27 2 off 2 fairly ordinary speed clamps. 20"& 24" capacity £10 the pair

PS. What's the difference between a clamp and a cramp?
A clamp holds an item or assembly in place, eg, while the glue cues
A cramp is used to force an assembly into its final configuration.
So it's a matter of beefiness

Too far away for me to take advantage of.

Cramps are what I get in my hands when I tighten the clamps too much.
