Those look like "Quick Fist" rubber clamps, available online at hunting and fishing stores

I found them in Calgary at WFR Wholesale Fire and Rescue http://www.wfrfire.com/

Being they are a wholesaler, it was sort of a clusterffffffffffffffff to get them, but I did.

What did you have to do to get them? I'm interested in grabbing a couple.

I had to pay with my credit card (which makes me angry for real), but I had to give them my companies info, and the woman at the front couldnt figure out the debit card machine and after 2 attempts (which failed "due to account discrepancies") or some similar message which made me think someone stole my identity and drained my bank account.

Call them, talk to Jack, he's a good guy, he will sell them to you...but they are short stocked on them, according to Jack.  I bought a total of 12 in a couple different sizes and I dont think he had many left.

WFR in calgary, the # is 403-279-0400.

Or buy them direct from End of the Road Inc, 615-828-2600.  That number should lead you to a man named Brent Polak.  He sent me an email and I can fwd it to you/anyone if you want...but all it says is WFR is the dealer in Calgary, and we can buy direct from him if WFR cant help us.

I didnt ask if they have a retailer elsewhere in the province.  The Brent Polak's email is [email protected]
