Those Mikalor clamps seem to have a very narrow operating size range. I was going to buy some but I was worried I’d accidentally end up just outside the operating window and have to reorder.

That is very true. In a few cases I have ordered the size I thing I need and then to be sure the size above and the size below. Just means I now have a decent stock holding to go to and size from now. If you use man maths, you can even justify it. Prices of things like this seem to rise in price far faster than normal inflation and so buying today for tomorrow is an absolute bargain. Stored correctly they will become heirloom parts.

we stopped using Mikkalor clamps years ago as whilst very good they tend to concentrate the pressure on a certain area rather than uni formally.......

the likes of the "Murray" constant tension clamp is far superior and will hold far more pressure than any other we have used, like most things its actually a very simple design at its base but highly effective in operation
