[don reilly]

I dont know about you but I loaned a tool to my best Brother in Law he is always carfull with ant thing I loan him and he replaces it if he brakes it so I'm not complaining I just had to show this clamp and how it broke, Shop fox didnt care when I aked if they would guarintee it NOPE..only for 3 months I think.

here is the clamp it is a clean brake no signs of stress except for this Picture. HA HA

Yep, looks like pretty cheap cast pot metal. 1 crystaline hair fracture, and eventually it's just going to split, just like cast iron. I've always thought of shop fox as about the same quality as Harbor Freight. Sometimes it's good, sometimes not so good.

You should let Shop Fox know that you are going to do free advertisement for them using your picture.

I wrote them a real nice letter nothing rude if you know what I mean, they did call me on the phone and asked me how old the clamp was, I told the a couple of years, then I was told that it was out of warintee and they would not replace it, which is OK I have many others, along with the good Universal #76 face frame clamps. they did say that they would send the picture to R&D or engineering.

I dont know how my Bro In Law managed to brake it, he might have had it in a bind or not on straight causing stress.

I just posted this a FYI only, not to bash Shop Fox, I think they have a good bunch of products.

I have already replaced the broken one with my Bor in laws money all 15.00 worth.
