Got a packet of four of these today, for a devastating £1.10:

Mine came bagged as "Balsacraft" and from an LHS, but the image was from here:

They seem to be aimed at flying modellers (that is to say, it's the models that fly, not the modellers) so check out shops that do that kind of stuff.

At the same time, I also got a pair of these:

These are much bigger than the other ones, don't have the elastic bands, but do have handy notches in the jaws to stop stuff slipping out. They're made by a Yank company called PROEDGE:

Pretty good. But now Radish wants to know if they'll go on his nipples.  :blink:

All I can say is that my clamps definitely won't be going anywhere near Radish's nipples... :rolleyes:
