Title: Best place to buy jubilee clamps?

I want to buy maybe 30. Woodies or B&Q are not the place as they sell small quantities for big prices.

Are you in a hurry for them? Caulfields in Galway are pretty much the only place left in Galway that sells nuts, bolts etc by weight or by the piece - and very cheap in comparison to the diy stores. They always round down the price too. A nice old school touch.

Any hardware store or plumbing supply should have them.
That being said, it can be difficult to get the smaller diameters.

What diameter?

Try Flomax (1890 201 444) Almost down the road from you on outskirts of Dublin. Its where dempsey gets his SS fittings

For example 16 - 22mm are 65c plus vat

They seem a bit expensive compared to Bramer/Rotate ( 01 830 5455 ) over in Glasnevin 33c for 10+

I got them from here:
http://www.ebay.ie/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230801046091&var=530060608542

Probably not the cheapest option, but I couldn't find the small ones in the hardware stores for some reason.
I'm sure if you contacted the seller you could get a deal on postage.

I picked up some small ones on morriss's DIY in Waterford recently  - not entirely sure of teh size ( or price for that matter - maybe 60 - 65 cent each ? )

happen to have one in  my coat pocket at the minute !!
think it says size - 95 - 12mm ?

I used them to secure the tubing on my regulator and on the group buy taps  and my JG fitting s for the Keg

I can drop in on way home from work and price them ( and get the real dimensions if that's any good to you ?

I'm sure on of the lads at Saturdays meet will be heading to the Competition if I am not so could get them to you that way ?

Sound - Only problem is - very busy day tomorrow - Daughter's birthday party followed by one for me with the family at a restaurant

I can drop them out to you tonight, 8-ish, i must owe you a trip out that direction by now.

PS: The father in law found the "110" brew you gave me, so had to donate it to him.
I only had a sip as i was dying sick - it was very nice. What was it?

It seemed stouty, but we also thought it might have been belgiany.

+1 i saw packs of them from aldi or lidl recently. They're not the kind of thing that sells out immediately.

edit: didn't notice page 2 of this thread. ignore me. as you were..
