Going by the Smithfield, NC, Big Lots today and decided to stop. Found bar clamps, two 12" and two 24", in a pack, for $9.99. Got a pack.
I have some of the 12" clamps from them, and they work great. Four pack for $8+, at the time, same as I've seen at $3-5+ each, other places.
If anyone in the area is interested, they had maybe a dozen packs left, along with some 6" quick clamps, and, I beleive, 12" bar clamps.
I try to stop anytime I'm close, their stock changes so often.
JOAT You know it's gonna be a bad day, when you turn on the news and they're showing escape routes out of the city.
