I got a good deal from the B&Q bargain bins once.
I found their sets of 15 router cutters which had the cheap plastic box cover broken & they all had one bit missing. No prices were shown so I asked the manager. He set them at half price & found a loose bit in the bin that made up the full set. 50p each for cutters can't be bad. They're useful for seldom used cutter to be kept in the workshop.

Just ordered 40, yes 40 , of these clamps from my SILVERLINE supplier @ £3.95 each. Screwfix are charging over £12.00 each. And they work great!!!

That`s what I call a real handy bargain,NEVER too many clamps.

Those quick grip clamps from silverline are far cheaper than I have seen elsewhere.
What I consider a good bargain are the guideclamps. They are between £11.03 & £16.71 depending on size & similar guide clamps start at £29.95 +vat elsewhere.
I'll definitely be ordering one of those.

I've got a couple of 50in copies of those clamps, bought from Axminster. The silverline ones are definitely a lot cheaper than I've seen elsewhere. I'll get a couple of 36in jobbies I think.

Incidentally, there are some real dorks on ebay who regularly pay £30 or more for 50in clamps! Good business to be in!
