Members Invasion Posted April 28, 2013 Members Report Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) Has anyone got one of these and if so opinions on it please. I was thinking of getting one as this company seems to be much better quality than the normal suppliers in England Thanks Edited April 28, 2013 by Invasion Quote

Members Invasion Posted April 29, 2013 Author Members Report Posted April 29, 2013 Thanks Invasion was wondering if you were near to Walsall but I see youre not. Any reason ? I phoned joesph Dixon today and they are out of stock of the saddlers clamp so I've got a cheap one from From tandy to use in the meantime. Quote
Members Jax Posted April 29, 2013 Members Report Posted April 29, 2013 Yeah I was gonna try & tell you where I got mine from, (could be where Dixons get them from) not sure if the company is still there & I dont know the address, but I do know where it is/was, but you have a long way to come so I guess thats not an option.

Thanks for thought really appreciated Shame I am not closer I had a look on the Abbey site, they don't seem to have any? Not that impressed with the tandy one. I have added some leather so it doesn't mark my work but I really don't like it! Thanks again Quote
Members Jax Posted April 29, 2013 Members Report Posted April 29, 2013 I always line the jaws of my clamps with either leather or a rubber ( I cut rubber rein grips up) Have a look on ebay there has been a few sets of clamps on recently Quote
Members celticleather Posted April 30, 2013 Members Report Posted April 30, 2013 Have another look on the Abbey site . . . http://www.abbeyengland.com/Store/tabid/77/productid/74749/Language/en-GB/Default.aspx?txtSearch=saddlers+clams These are priced at £63.00 (plus VAT & postage).
