DIY #7 - Fixing a quick clamp

Buying cheap stuff is always a gamble. Quite often it works as intended but from time to time you really do get what you pay for.
I found out that by doing a quick modification to these cheap, and in this case broken, quick clamps they work a lot better.
Come along won't you?

I was just about to dump an old Wolfcraft one that had served me well for years. Thanks.

Thats a lot of work for cheap clamps.
If you don't have a welder, just roughing up the bar where it slips with coarse grit sandpaper has alwsys worked for me...and you don't need to rake them apart.
30 seconds and you're done.

I agree, I mostly did it to see if it'd work. I'll definitely try your approach the next time.
Thanks for the tip!
