Sold 30 so 30 are left $65 shipped for the bunch
I bought a ton of these c clamps ( more than i need) from a airplane builder sale and thought maybe someone building a car could use some or all of them. These run $5-10 new a piece so i am looking for a little over $2 each. These arent the usual hft cheapies, malleable iron like the old school vises were made with.
These are incredibly handy for car (wood strip boats, and airplanes i imagine too) builds sheet metal work (hammer forming), glue ups, jig making....
I'm interested. Do they all have the nylon feet or just some of them?
Would they fit in a single flat rate USPS box? Not sure where you're located but shipping would be to 02718.

Most of them have nylon feet. I will pull some spares from the ones I am keeping if you want them.
I will be shipping them flat rate and I will cover the shipping if you want the lot of them or a good amount.
Don't worry about the extra feet. I just figured for welding some of them would burn the plastic off and I didn't know if it was just the ball under the nylon or if the nylon is just a cover.
I assumed you weren't willing to split them up that's why you listed it with one price. But if you are that would probably be a better idea. I could definitely see a use for 20 of them, or 30 because they are a deal. How much would you want for 30?

$65 for 30 i will ship them for that. I have them on craiglist to and just get offers for 2 or 4 plus haggling on the price. (Its testing my sanity a little. ) I am happy to pass the deal i got on them along otherwise.
The clamps do have metal disks under the nylon covers as you said. The nylon covers are i guess for aluminum/soft work pieces.
That sounds great to me, well not the part about craigslist. If I don't want to bother with constant haggling when listing something I normally put listed prices and put key words like "FIRM" "Price not negotiable" etc.
Out of curiosity how many did you buy from the aviation guy?

I will have to give the "non negotiable" tag a shot in the future.
I bought around 160 or so clamps. As a strong believer in the vantage "one can never have too many clamps" 60 was a hard number to arrive at
I will ship today or tomorrow and send an eta or tracking also
