V12man Posted January 19, 2018 Share I drove around a bit looking for pipes and or clamps today, seems East London is in the dark ages because I couldnt find either at any of the hardware stores. Seems they might be more pain than they are worth at the moment!I can check tomorrow at my local store where I bought them - let you know when done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmycool Posted January 19, 2018 Share The clamps are a good price but the shipping price is law dropping stuff!Its actually cheaper to ship directly from Amazon which is pretty unusual with stuff off Aliexpress.This one offers free shipping at a higher price for the clamp.Not too bad. Also, it is the 3/4" and not 1/2" as a lot of them are YOFE 3/4" Heavy Duty Pipe Clamp Woodworking Wood Gluing Pipe Clamp 3/4" Pipe Clamp Fixture Carpenter Woodworking Tools HT1235http://s.aliexpress.com/qumEbamU?fromSns=Copy to Clipboard (from AliExpress Android) Edited January 19, 2018 by jimmycool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only I could somehow get these Iriwn pipe clamps.http://i.ebayimg.com/images/i/332188788472-0-1/s-l1000.jpg jimmycool and Capricorn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I checked they were around $13 each with $18 shipping. Its always the shipping that bumps up the price so much. stefmeister 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even if you buy in bulk the shipping is still crazy expensive via Amazon. For it make sense to me, it needs come in landed at under R350 ea.

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkBuying 6 would make them R356 each including shipping and estimated duties. I think I might have some friends coming over from the states in the next month or two though so will check with them. At R170 each(price minus shipping) they are a no brainer.

I was hoping to find somewhere local where I could pop around and pick one up. But if I don't come right at least I now know where I can get a decent one at a reasonable price. Cheers!

It's a one off project that I need to measure some angles... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
