Irwin Clamp Pads (Free Replacement)
Ron Altier posted a topic in Machinery, Tools, Research, Reviews and Safety
I have a dozen Irwin hand clamps of all sizes and use them a lot. Over the years I have lost the yellow pads from some and other pads have become hard, I think due to glue. I have tried several places for replacement pads with no luck. Then I went to this web site; http://www.irwin.com/support-services/replacement-parts I filled out the blanks and in the description I told them how many pads I needed. In 4 days I received 4 pads of each size...........free of charge. Thought you would like to know. Ron -
New to me, anyway. Lowes carries them.

Saw these being used in a YouTube video. Found some at Lowes. They're great for clamping temporary things like stop blocks, etc. Quicker than my 6" Jorgies. They hold well. And, much easier to use than spring clamps.

I did a little pickin' today. There was a gentleman that was clearing out his father's estate and his dad was a carpenter. I literally had to refrain myself from going up the street to the ATM and I may even hit the sale later tomorrow to see what is left. He had a fairly new Jet shaper and was asking $300. Since my wife was with me I didn't offer $250 for fear that he'd take it but there's always tomorrow. If it is still there I may stash a couple of Franklins in my pocket and see if that will get it bought. I did buy a set of three scrapers for $3 bucks from him. On the other side of town (small town by the way) I grabbed a 14.4 volt dewalt with good strong batteries for $10 and I bought this cool Irwin box with three bits in it for $5. The guy wouldn't come down at all and the box was just too cool to pass up. One sale had a 4 ft and a 6 ft level and a 4 ft drywall square for a buck each but I really didn't need duplicates.

Got out for a bit last night and ran across this nice old set up Irwin Auger Bits in the Original box. The set is complete and looks as though they have never been used. One of the really nice things about this set was that the manual was still tucked nicely in the box under the bits. The date on the bottom of the manual on the back says 1952. They look pretty good for 63 years old. Inside the manual is in nice condition also. I think is was a pretty nice find and am glad to be adding it to my collection. These can sit next to the Keen Kutter set. Well I am off for some serious Patriot Picking this weekend. Later.....
