[SEL] Re: O.T. Mystery Clamps ??

[Jerry Evans]

>Hi the Lists,

         Thanks for the answers to the "mystery clamps" - "sky hooks - 
muffler bearing puller - pipe stretchers" etc. Luckily I do not think that 
you all come from Montana <grin> but if you believe "boomerangs" were 
invented in Africa you may believe anything !!
         Roland Craven replied within an hour with the correct answer (and 
today "derek" also gave the correct answer).
         They are floorboard clamps (or cramps depending on which side of 
the pond you are speaking from - I always thought that a "cramp" was a pain 
in the A***) and are used by attaching to the bearer plank (I think some of 
you call them "joists")  and then the floorboard is pressed tight against 
the previous one prior to nailing.
