It was interesting to find that I had no idea that there were so types of “clamps” if you were to go to any search engine and simply type in “clamps” you would find hundreds of pages to weed through looking at all the clamps that are available for so many usages. There are Temporary, Permanent and Medical clamps galore. I didn’t know that In the United Kingdom and in Australia, the term “cramp” is often used instead when they tool are being used for temporary use for positioning components while in construction and woodworking. I thought that was interesting enough to remember and share here. I love learning little trivial trivia, I just wish I could retain more of it and put all that good information to some kind of use. Funny thing is that I don’t even like all the “Trivia Games” that have become so popular the past couple decades or so that I might have a chance of winning or not making myself look too ignorant in front of a bunch of people.

The whole reason I got into the whole clamp issue is because I was looking at flashlights at Reids Supply’s website and ran across some clamps to hold down tarps to a table, that I have been meaning to pick up to use during the warmer weather months that are coming up here real soon. I plan on going to the local flea market a few times this season to sell, not to buy and I know that there are several things that I should plan on having to bring along and use for these days that I am not looking forward to dealing with. It really is a lot of work from the beginning of the process, which can take days or weeks of preparation, to the very end when the last box is taken off the truck and put back to where ever its new place will be, most likely in the garage.

The clamps at reidsupply.com’s are just a few of the things that I still need to find and purchase to make the day(s) a bit easier. You never know what Mother Nature is going to throw at us and with my luck it will rain. That is where the clear see through tarps come in to play, so that my merchandise can still be seen but protected from the weather, with these clamps to hold the tarps nice and secure like. Unfortunately it takes money to make money, I just hope that I sell enough stuff to make it worth all the hard work, time, effort, money and thought that it was put into the darned thing.
