(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best spring clamps

On our jobs we use a series of heavy-duty clamps and gorilla tape. Both are incredibly strong and load-bearing. It all depends where you're mounting it. But for trees some rope and clamps would probably suffice. Tieing and securing rope roughly where you want the tarp to attach to the tree (probably above a branch would be best to prevent potential sag), then securing the sheeting to the rope using the clamps. When necessary, or to create channels for water to flow, the gorilla tape might come in handy.

We're normally attaching to nearly paper thin sheet-metal so a tree I think should be fairly simple.

I posted my storage solution here a while back

I have since replaced the little alligator clips with these clips (but I definitely didn't pay $18 for them), a little stronger than I need but they do a much better job at holding gloves.

I used this set this year:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0109K8F3O

Fine but the little tips tended to fall off. Still work without the tips but not as well. Plenty strong to hold up even heavy tarps.

I just ordered this set, look sturdier, should last years and has rubber coated tongs so it won't tear anything up:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N7ZSPRY

I got them for putting up large heavy tarps to augment our canopies, though. Extra large (2") binder clips work fine for light tapestries.

I use a ring clamp.

Little more comfortable in the hand than some pliers, imo.

Might not be the prettiest solution, but you could clamp the fan to a small piece of wood trim using the attached clamps, then using a set of larger clamps (maybe like this - link ) to fasten the wood trim to your aquarium rim (assuming you're clipping to the back).

OSO makes "axle" collars and standard barbell collars. The axle collars fit most all specialty bars like the SS Yoke.

You said spring clips, so I want to make sure we're thinking of the same thing. Here is what I was talking about: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LZAO55D/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awdb_Kq1jzb3FG3AVK

Combination of alligator clips (you can find plenty on amazon, I will post the one I used in the link below) and bamboo sticks (which you can find in the BBQ / outdoor sections at Walmart and the likes) with a styrofoam box will be immense help for you to spray paint with ease.

Alligator Clips

Alternative, you can assemble the kit, identify the pieces that you want to spray paint individually and the pieces that will be covered, and figure out which pieces you do not have to paint individually.

Something like this or this would work well. You could expand the jaw surface area with some DIY if necessary. Since the mouth of those is pretty wide, you could put them on horizontally, assuming you have long nipples and get the whole nipple in the bite.

Would really need to know length, and diameter of what you're working with to know what you could use, though. A full bite around the circumference of your nipple, with the nipple compressed? Or the jaws extending down the length of the nipple to the areola, but only smooshed along one axis?

Adjustability is going to be a problem though, without using say, C-Clamps with modified jaws. (Or maybe locking tweezer-style forceps? Several chop sticks and rubberbands No "bite" though.)

Regardless, the "Spring Clamp" family of products are probably going to be the best route.

I use one of these: https://www.amazon.com/BRAINWAVZ-Hooka-Metal-Headphone-Hanger/dp/B01DNLLTIE/

It's really nice, all metal but expensive, they also have other models.

https://www.amazon.com/BRAINWAVZ-Truss-Metal-Headphone-Hanger/dp/B0192P8U5U/

Note that the stick-on ones will not stick to most walls, I have mine on the side of my desk which is just your standard particle board + veneer desk.

If you're really cheap you can find a spring clamp at a big box hardware store for a few bucks, it's what I did for a good while.

We use these clamps over closepins. They're much stronger. We use then at home for chip clips, the kids use them for building tents. They're very useful.

Yeah, kind of. It has the same function, but the ones I remember came up in the suggestions: A set
Thanks!

Okay, basically you're saying pants "rotated". Hmmm...

Would some sort of a clip, one on each side of the center rear belt loop, clipping onto the pants, do anything?

Maybe something like this:

https://www.amazon.com/Holster-Sheath-Carbon-Powder-Coated/dp/B00Y5T9FT4

This should force the pants to stay in place. But if your pants are really slick, these can pop off. But maybe worth a try?

A stack of coins, a cool rock you've found, painter's tape, a non-toxic fishing weight, tiny clamps, a calibration weight, or just have a friend hold it down.

The key to removing base plates is squeezing the sides of the mag to relieve the tension just enough to allow the plate to start moving when you apply pressure with a punch or driver via the hole in the plate.

The aforementioned vice or clamp will help, but I've found a strong spring clamp will actually work well: http://www.amazon.com/Bessey-XM5-Spring-Clamp/dp/B005YT5IY0/ref

Avoid prying the plate off by using a chisel tip driver, blade, etc. You'll just eat up the mag bodies that way.

I’m currently not at home. Due to a back injury in my 20’s I won’t DL than 200 lbs. These days I’m more about mobility and conditioning than raw strength anyway. Shooting for that body longevity. 😉 Anyways here are the clamps and I just use a piece of 1” diameter pipe.

If you really want to get your DL up I would suggest getting a barbell even if it isn’t olympic. GL

Yep! I use these. My favorite combo is the Superclamp you use here plus a Giottos MH1304 mini ball head.

Another thing you can do (which works better for some scenarios) is grab some of these clamps (note: you can get these for about a dollar each at Home Depot) and a 1/4"-20 x 1/2" screw + one 1/4"-20 nut. Put the nut on the screw, pass the screw through the hole in the clamp, and screw on the ball head for just the right amount of screw clearance. Then clamp it to any shelf or desk surface super-fast. Superclamps are more robust, but considerably more expensive and occasionally don't fit where these clamps do.

One other option is to use drop ceiling clamps, again, with the same kind of mini ball head. Do not buy them for $20. These can be found for $3-5 (and used to be that much on Amazon) but right now someone is selling them for a lot more. Note: drop ceiling clamps are susceptible to bouncing if the drop ceiling has a floor above and it isn't stable, which can potentially cause tracking issues. YMMV. I've never had an issue with it but it's been mentioned before that it could be an issue. If not, they're extremely low-profile, clean, and simple to install. I used to use them in my office and they worked fine.

I use metal clips like these on my right pants leg to keep it out of the chain, that is a game changer. Some wider pedals probably can't hurt in some cases, but I've been riding with boots all my winters and never had problems.

Touch something that's grounded before you touch a component. If you're in a country with good electrical standards a tap is usually a good option. If you're not sure you could always invest in a grounding strap but that's kinda overkill.

Clamps like these have always worked well for me.

buy an ESD bracelet and use it while building -> https://www.amazon.com/Anti-Static-Wrist-Straps-Anti-Static/dp/B017164JHA/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=348E7SS3Y87Q7&keywords=esd+wrist+strap&qid=1558670665&s=gateway&sprefix=esd+%2Caps%2C150&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1

be extra careful while installing the cpu, otherwise it's basically legos ( aside from picking the right parts :P )

You can buy a box of 100 on amazon for $13

I used this

Tamiya, Mr.Hobby, Rust-Oleum, Krylon (Results may vary when not using hobby specific spray paint).

Clips can be found on Amazon or the electronic/wiring section of your hardware store. If you can wait for shipping buying them on eBay from China will result in more for less. I picked up 300 for around $10.

Sticks are bamboo BBQ skewers that can be found in the BBQ/Outdoor section of your local department store. I usually get 100 for around $1 (USD).

Where I got mine

For a cheap, quick and dirty solution, just get some spring clamps. If you need to hold the door open, put the clamp below the shock on the rod. The ones I linked are just to show what they are. They can be found at any hardware store for cheap.
