Second what Bill said... I buy them at Enco and have them all the way from itty bitty to the big 'ol 6" ones.
 
I bought some of those at a Blade Show. That's when I wanted to tighten the handle slabs without the twisting that I was having with 'C' clamps. The problem was that I forced out all the epoxy and lessened the the bond to nothing! Now I use spring clamps.
Just what I do,

FWIW- KANT Twist clamps were one of the first things I ever had to "draw" on AutoCAD Release 13 back in college.

I remember drawing them up on the pc and thinking, "Damn, I need some of these for the shop!" :thumbup: :D

They really are awesome clamps. You get a really good clamping action with very little lateral movement.

SPENDY.... but worth it.

I bought some "precision" ones at Blade show that have tighter tolerances... I'm not even sure who they're made by, and they have NO movement other than squeez'n where you want 'em to. But they were like $20/each for the little 1-1/4" ones!
 
Nick - Do you remember who you bought them from?

Amazon.com has them for $10.50, thats the cheapest place Ive found.
