Colorado B.S. Thread

Will be in Telluride this weekend for some fun, will probably do a couple trails if anyones around.

 

I wish!

 

where can one buy a toggle clamp, locally, without having to order it?
No where in Fort Collins can one be found on the shelf. This is holding up my next step on the swing out.

 

Well I am pretty sure I saw them at Harbor Freight but that wouldn't last long.

My best guess: https://www.grainger.com/branch/Fort-Collins-Branch-218

Edit: if I did search right still looks like it would have to be shipped.

Tried both, Grainger can order them for 4 times the normal cost, lol. Harbor freight stocks them randomly.
A 1000lb vertical clamp is about $10.00. Grainger wanted $40+

 

@3378jakesr5 I think he just fab'd up a bumper tire swingout.

 

I may just have to order it from this company.

Or, here are CO Distributors listed for De-Sta-Co

I'd get a 2k. Had a 750 and it was a pos.

 

I can't believe this isn't an off the shelf product at ACE or any other hardware store.

 

noted, I was thinking 1000lb minimum, I'll look at bigger now.

 

Stainless, 2000lb, for under $20.

And the one from Grainger. Not knocking them, I shop Grainger a lot, this was kind of a surprise.

If I replace my needle bearing this weekend, do I need any additional parts? or can i re-use everything that I currently have?

 

Could put a new seal in....

 

@BDN Amazon is the place to be. And like brett 2.0 said. Get the biggest one you can get your hands on and see about one that has a locking catch on it so it does not bounce free

 

Thought I would try my own. May not work though as I don't know what I'm doing. pivot points need to be slightly offset from each other to get the clamping effect.

 

Hell yeah!
