Getting Anywhere With This?
Have you progressed any further with this Fletty? I suspect that these are made in China for Bessey by Xian Wellwork Industrial Co. Ltd.
Any forum members thinking of buying this type of clamp would be well advised to purchase the Carbatec or Gasweld version both of which are made by Ehoma in Taiwan. A better product at a similar price and available in 3 sizes from Gasweld. http://www.gasweld.com.au/quick-gear-clamp-300mm

Strange you should ask! Yep, modelling has just started which is just as well because I now need 7!

Been wondering about this as well as I have 4 of these.
Since the original post I have continued to use them but in the back of my mind has been "this time......." , fortunately not yet but its not something I'm thrilled about as I know Murphy and his mate the FU fairy are hiding in my shed along with a multitude of disappeared pencils.Regards,
Bob

7 in pretty quick succession. Well at least you can't complain about a lack of consistency! Originally Posted by fletty

I think you're right on the UV issue. I have one of these things and it's kept in the dark when not in use. 6 years old and no problems.
Innovations are those useful things that, by dint of chance, manage to survive the stupidity and destructive tendencies inherent in human nature.

Aren't cats usually in a bag because you are taking them for a swim and you don't want them catching cold? Originally Posted by Evanism

One cat from the bag
Ok you scallywags, listen up.
Fletty contacted me a little time back with a sample. My son is a 3D nutter... So am I, but the student has surpassed the master....
We are developing a direct replacement for the snappy crappy kliklamp toggles in ABS plastic. A few reinforcements and added meatiness to avoid future trauma.
The ABS has significant properties that make it a particularly desirable replacement.... Stiffness yet flexy, terrific abrasion resistance, smooth surfacing, UV stability
and funky colour-printingness.
Fletty is calling by on his trip to sunny Canberra to nail down some of the strategies, but it doesn't really take a lot of imagination.... Find those in pain and sell an analgesic.
There are a few other things in development too. Things the everyday woodworker would love, but don't acquire due to cost.... Exciting!

Now there's a bit of ingenuity for you.
Well done to all concerned.

Mine haven’t broken (yet) but it is something that comes to mind each time they are used.
They have been stored in a closed drawer or on a hook on the clamp cart and covered. My triggers are still not discoloured which I suspect is the main problem.Regards,
Bob

bit rough when you have to get spare parts fabricated yourself when the importer/manufacturer doesn't live up to their statutory obligations
