Now this is a clamp
« on: April 01, 2013, 12:09:05 pm »
Just in time for April, Lee Valley has the mother of all clamps.

A little expensive but definitely unique.

I hope the guy with the Dremel doesn't get his mustache caught!  It seems a little 'overkill' to spend $1000 to clamp the little figure for power carving.  (You could get a nice Excalibur set up for that much money - that Snazzy Anniversary Edition that I am DROOLING over in beautiful black with gold trim!) 

Nice system, but My goodness!  The price is insane! :) 

Thanks for showing us!

Sheila, at least the guy is wearing safety glasses, of a sort.

Aren't I the dork?  LOL 

The term "gullible" comes to mind . . . ;)

The funny part is - I wouldn't put it past Lee Valley to sell something like that.  I guess the best pranks are those that are kind of believable! 

You certainly got me!  :D

This clamp is part of an on-going series of April 1 tools produced by Lee Valley.  To see the others, type AFD into the search bar.  Some have been quite inventive but this year's is the best, in my humble opinion.

I ,wouldn't order one on a lark ,because one is very much likely to show up ,just seems like too much detail and enginerring ,the brazing glasses may be a joke ,but I would bet that thing is real and somebody in industry uses them .For us ,way over kill ,not so with industry .IMHO

I almost fell for it!  I was about to tell my wife that no matter how many times I have said the opposite, you really can have 1 too many clamps.
