women have trouble understanding Trump's MAGA theme because they had so little involvement in making America great the first time around.

Another thing to look for is when the big boxes change vendors and liquidate their old stock. Sometimes marked down in their store. I got a bunch of 48" Jorgensons at Ollie's Bargain Barn (a liquidation retailer) for about 1/3 to 1/2 off a couple of years ago. There's also a couple of auction sites that sell liquidations. In summary: look and you may find.

Of course they do, right after you buy some for the project.
I think Jorgensen went overseas too.

I've had good luck putting an amazon price watch on via camelcamelcamel. I have a decent little stable of Jets that I paid about $15 per clamp for. Not bad. Not the quickest way, but if you have time.

I have quite a few of the Bessy's which are great but also heavy. When I built my "Paul Sellers" style bench I sprung for the "cheap" Harbor Freight Alumium and modified them like Paul did and surprisingly they work very nice and are light.

I got some of the same 48" Jorgenson clamps as well as some 24" as well. I bought as many as I could carry back from TN.

Better than decent. I used camelcamelcamel to look up older Amazon prices, and you have to go back 2 years or more to find better deals. Think I will pick up a couple.
