Thread: Harbor Freight clamp repaired. Plastic to steel

  1. Default Harbor Freight clamp repaired. Plastic to steel

    Not a big project but my Dad broke the plastic end on a 36" cheap clamp and I was bored so I fixed it for him. That will hold things. Used Power IMIG-200 18-19 volts arc force off LOL I cut up 1/2"x1/8" strips I cut and welded back together. I said I was bored.

    Looks good, esp after the paint.
    Are you able to put the original red shoe over the metal?

    Chad, your repair looks really good, I will keep this in mind because I have a few of those clamps too.

    Thanks Scooter. He liked it to. The red boot will fit but my Dad lost it or threw it out.

    If you are really concerned or want a protective boot, you can probably use that plasti dip stuff for handles of tools.
