I remember an oldtimer in my neighborhood. He made a similar clamp out of
old bed springs. The beauty was you could make assorted sizes using the different diameters. Best of all, the price was right

We had an old set of clamps that used pliers to set them/ They were made by Ulmia in Germany. Ulmia went out of business and other copies came to market. Once we found the Clam clamps - the Ulmia ones were releagetd to the back of the shop.

I think that Hartford Clamp also makes something similar to the Clam Clamp.
