I use Jorgensen spring clamps. Jorgensen makes high quality clamps that last.

I've used other cheap spring clamps that did not have the same holding power.

here's a site; http://shop.store.yahoo.com/tylertool/jorclam.html

You may find a better price if you do a web search on "woodworking clamps".

I'm sure you can have them shipped to you.

Spring Clamp Tip:
You can increase the holding power of a spring clamp by placing a second spring clamp's
grips, inside of the first one you placed on the work.

All the best,
