User friendly Adel Clamp

A friend gave me an Adel clamp like I've never seen before. This one has a tab and a groove that holds the clamp with the holes lined up so that you can get the bolt thru and get the the nut started without effort. Here is the problem, he couldn't tell me where to purchase any. Does anybody have a source for these.

Adelok

Adel Wiggins group makes something called an Adelok(R) which is very similar:

Good luck finding a dealer, I searched the Internet for 20 minutes with no luck...some of these industrial companies, it's like they don't want to sell any products.

OK, a little more digging, the ones in your photograph are "Lock-Foot" clamps, also from Adel Wiggins:

Still no joy on a dealer.

These guys don't have the fancy rubber finger grip stuff, but the price is right if you can size them appropriately. I buy a lot of high pressure steel fittings from these guys, they are good.

Greg... the clamps you link to don't seem to have the locking feature requested...

One suitable trade name is ADELOKS (guess who makes them......) but I can't seem to find an easy source.
