A customer gave me these. I don’t know if they are still in business.

They are much better panel clamps than these

It comes apart and makes it easier if they are a little stuck

The pin is stainless and the thumb screw has a brass insert, so you don’t have to worry about stripping the threads on the pin

Go on YouTube and check out Fitzee’s Fabrications. The guy is amazing. Uses a butt welding panel replacement technique that uses no clamps. In one episode he shows his clamps in a drawer claiming they have been unused for years.

Very clever and skillful guy and very entertaining. He’s the man!

I've watched a couple of his clips. I like how he explains and approaches something. His demeanor and (I guess) Irish brogue are also very entertaining. He is the man.
