It's the End of Days!! Run for Hills!

I went to Axminster today and didn't buy a single thing!! :cry:

On a slightly more serious note I looked at the new 'trade' Bessey-a-like clamps. They're not for me. There seems to be a lot of play (possibly from the 'crankable' handle) and the 1000mm one I was looking at was quite hard to close- perhaps the grub screw needs adjusting.

I think if they were much more competitively priced I would be tempted to try a couple but as it is they are too close to the Besseys.

Shame as I've always quite liked the Axi branded stuff.

One worrying thing is that they now also do finance.... Can see the G/F kicking me out in the not too distant future :lol:

Anyhow YMMV on the clamps, I am interested to hear of anyone else's experiences/reviews of them as it may be a bad example.
