When I worked at Menards those clamps were junk for a couple years, but I thought they improved that long ago. I don't remember there being a good way to fix it. We had a lot of returns.  |  IP: Logged Bill Enos Film God Posts: 2081 From: Richmond, Virginia, USA Registered: Apr 2000 posted 08-13-2008 03:10 PM                     I've seen similar clamps on other brands that could not hold the blade in tough cutting.  |  IP: Logged Scott McGuire Film Handler Posts: 94 From: Elmira, NY/United States Registered: Oct 2007 posted 08-13-2008 09:14 PM                     It has been a few years.
