Made simple modification..

Also did two more of them. I used 120mm springs, got two from one, so i choosed to use them all.
( springs cost 4$ )

New clamps are with little wider opening:



Also made this simple mod for holding small, and round objects. Tought it could be usefull when brazing small rings, and stuff like that.

Thanks buddy!

Simple solution, but took 20 years from me to find it.

Even that the title says " welders.."

These extentions work nicely with gluing tasks too..



That was a little hard to reach spot to my "traditional" clamps.
