Faller Wee Clamps

[DafyddElvy]

Faller produce(d) these clamps, at the time I purchased these they had other useful clamps which I didn't take the opportunity to purchase at the the time, I have done the usual www search but come up empty, I wondered if anyone knows any shops preferably in britain that sell these or similar clamps, thanks?

Now they do look useful, I wonder if there strong enough for resin buildings?

I used my set of Faller units to hold 4mm thick basswood in place and it had plenty of magnetic strength left

Proses make similar magnetic clamps distributed by Bachmann Europe, so should be widely available in the UK. I've got a couple of sets and the magnets are definitely strong enough to hold together resin buildings as that's what I have used them for as well as rolling stock and other projects. They also do variable angle versions which are brilliant for roofs.
