Chippy's Clip

Here is a really handy tool that you can not get anywhere else! Alvan Eames sent me one from Great Britain and wondered if such were available in the US. I could not find any so I contacted the manufacturer in England to see if we could buy some. What I found was that these things are no longer being made! When I told Alvan, he got busy and located a limited number and had them sent to us for sale here. (NOTE: these tools are brand new but a bit shopworn as you might imagine since they are the last of a production run and have been shipped around a bit. The clips themselves are fine, but the packaging is a bit wrinkled on some.)

If you have ever been sawing a sheet of plywood and had to stop to clamp together the flopping ends you know what this tool is for.

Here is how you use a Chippy's Clip:
