Mags, I don't doubt what you are saying but this really seemed like a re-stocking of Pony.
We have Ace stores all over town, ranging in size from fairly small to pretty big. This particular store is one of the bigger ones that I only get to a handful of times a year. When I was there back in the spring I purchased the last of the Pony spring clamps they had. There were a few orange painted C-Clamps left at that time. The last time I was there was about a month ago and there was no Pony clamps at all. A bunch of Irwin stuff is all I recall. I will get back by there and get a picture and see what I can find out.
Meanwhile gamma's post is just plain depressing
