Dubuque Clamps

[peter halle]

I switched over to mainly using the Dubuque clamps a few years ago after reading comments here. Love them and their lighter weight. I have stocked up on 2 and 4 footers but wanted to go bigger. Usually that is where they really get pricy unless you have a local source because of the shipping charges on the large ones. Just got a notification that Taylor Tools had restocked and the prices aren't bad, but for the 6 footers the shipping ends up free. Thought someone else might benefit: https://taytools.com/dubuque-universal-aluminum-bar-clamps?&a_2=v_3504&cid=2626

Thanks @peter halle I really like these/mine and don’t have long ones

Thanks. It will be nice to have a few of the dedicated 6-footers in the shop. I've been connecting clamps together for lengths over 50" so I don't have to drop out the black iron pipe and clamp heads. And with the Dubuque, they will be much easy to handle.

Now if you want the absolute lowest prices on the clamps and live around NYC - Harry Epstein is the one https://www.harryepstein.com/pages/search-results-page?q=dubuque clamp&tab=products&page=1

It might work out better if you live close, but last year when I decided to order 8- 4 footers I compared pricing from a bunch of places and the shipping killed it. I like to 8 , so I just tried this on Harry Epstein's page - OUCH.

Peter - Harry Epstein store is still located in downtown Kansas City MO. Killer on the shipping is the length I would imagine.

Thanks for that. I for some reason thought they were in NY.

My Dubuque clamps (14 in total) are mostly 24" and 36". It's indeed a "Buy Once, Cry Once" deal. They are my go-to clamps unless something longer is needed.

It’s a good thing HJE isn’t anywhere near NYC. I’d be almost perpetually broke.

For those of you who are not too far from a Woodcraft, I ordered a couple of the Dubuque 36" recently and they brought them in - just had to pay the regular Woodcraft price. Saved on shipping.
