2" Clamps

Submitted by geophile - Mon, 7/15/19 » 3:14 PM

About to start building a Skerry. Are these clamps OK? I'd hate to buy 60 of them and then find they are too small.

I’m not a fan of much that comes out of Harbor Freight, but the Home Depot sells 2” spring clamps for the same price and I have dozens of them in my shop and they work well and haven’t failed in the years I’ve used them.

A boat builder can never have "too many clamps" .

How true. I just used 43 of them to glue the sheer clamp to the top panel on a WR18.

To clarify: I'm wondering about the size of those Harbor Freight clamps. They say 2", but I read someplace (manual?) that 2 5/8" opening was required.
