Quick Grip Hand Clamp

Well, these sort of sneaked up on me. I didn’t catch any appearances until years after the series concluded. I must have become jaded watching the shows in later years.

First a little background—Quick Grips were long a staple in Norm’s shop, but Irwin (a well known manufacturer of drill bits and measuring devices) apparently purchased the line. You can see them at any big box. The focus on this page is the type of clamp pictured at left, however. It’s kind of a cross between the original Quick Grip and a spring clamp and a locking plier.

Anyway, they appropriated the Quick Grip name to different types and here the hand clamp is chronicled with the original color scheme of yellow & black (left, top—not seen on TNYW), and the blue & yellow seen here (left, bottom).
