If you have not seen these before they are called ezy earth clamps usually used for earthing stainless steel sinks, but are very handy for clamping panels together. They are very good because they are much smaller than bodyclamps and mole grips. They are about £1 each so are cheaper than normal clamps. Here is a web site from where you can get them www.eleconline.co.uk , but you can probabily get them from electical wholesalers.

They look very handy, ill add them to the Tools you need for welding thread in the pinned section of Bodywork, paint and detailing if that's alright with you.

I don't think so, If you have a local electrical wholesalers nearby they should.

Thank you for posting Alex.

Deffinately look like they'd be great! I always find mole grips get in the way sometimes, especially if you're wanting to leave a panel clamped up while you're not working on it or working on something else.

Ebay here I come.. :thumbsup:

There's not that many on ebay that i could find, The one's HERE don't look wide enough to fit two or more peaces of metal so I would avoid these.

Rabtcab has said the Square type (Towerman make) have a gap of 3mm and the rounded ones (The one's I posted)(Niglon make) have a gap of 6mm, so the square one's probably want be very good for holding the metal.
