I've found 1/8 and 1/4 cable clamps and I've even found white 3/16 cable clamps. But I want the black (UV inhibited & look better) clamps and I can't seem to find them anywhere local. I could order online but then I'm paying $8 shipping and I need fewer than 10. Does anyone know a good place?

I've been to:
Next Adventure (had the 1/8)
Home Depot
Lowes
Office Depot
Pratt
Fastenal
Winks (they had the white 3/16)
Other's that I can't remember...


Thanks for the input.

Thanks, I actually have been to Platt, (I just spelled it wrong above - doh) they said they could order some in two weeks but I'm not that patient.
Automotive or car audio was going to be my next avenue of shops to check out. It's such a strange stupid little bit of plastic and I know I've spent way too much time looking already. I got the white version from Wink's but I think they look stupid and the UV inhibitors in the black nylon wouldn't be a bad idea either.

I used to think that Bigfoot might exist. Then I saw the reality shows where they are looking for them.  Now I am certain they don't

Maybe browse ACE hardware.  The one out here in Forest Grove has damn near everything a guy could need.

Parkrose Hardware(ACE).  By far my favorite hardware store in PDX.  I am always amazed at their selection.  Really helpful staff too.

I'll take a look at work tomorrow. I think we keep 3/16" on hand. I will nab a handful for you if we do.

Another great idea - thanks.

Awesome - thank you. I'll let you know if I find some beforehand so we don't have to worry about trying to meet up.

No luck on the 3/16" - only 1/8" and 1/4". Found some 5/16" mixed in with the 1/4", which is probably why I thought we had some - I knew some there was some x/16" around. (We usually use wire ties rather than clamps on our cabling, which is why I'm not sure what we had on hand.)

No Problem, I really appreciate you looking for me.
