    A friend of mine has welded the nuts on that hold the clamps together. It would need a grinder to remove them. Not sure if this is something you could do with them bars but worth a look.

    Tool Trade Demo/Show

    As your after deals I would phone up all the local retailers. I'm sure DM Tools (london) do loyalty points (£) each product you buy, then you can use them to buy in the future. Maybe if you spend x amount they will chuck in some freebies
