Masterforce Ratcheting Clamps: Disappearing from Menards' Shelves Soon?

I've noticed that some of my favorite woodworking clamps are not being re-stocked at my local Menards store. And, I saw on the Menards Website the fateful "Low Inventory Alert" and "While Supplies Last" tags on these items. In my experience that means Menards will no longer carry those items.

Here's my take on these clamps and why it would be a shame if they disappeared.

Another article with a picture of the building. It is an old brick building that could possibly be too hazardous to maintain. The preservation work should have been done years back. I doubt there is a single remnant of the Wright Bros. shop left within it's walls. All of that would have been taken into private hands or museums long ago when the Wright Co. sold it. It is a shame no one though of preserving the building before it was abandoned. So much of the history of the world from that point forward traces back to that shop in that building and what the imagination of the brothers produced.

I asked Nick Engler about it, and here are a few words from him on the subject.

Nick Engler: "This was an editorial I submitted to the Dayton Daily News several weeks prior. They declined to publish it:

The effort expended on saving the old Gem City Ice Cream building – presumed to be the site of the first Wright brothers bicycle shop – is preposterous.

There is no longer anything there of real historical value relating to the Wright brothers. There is a myth-conception among Daytonians that interior walls define the Wright shop. Painstaking research by Matthew Yanney has shown the original building was made of wood and was razed to make way for the existing brick structure. There’s no way to know where the original wooden walls were.

There is also a question of whether the Wright brothers were here at all. The only record is a remark that Orville was heard to say to Henry Ford in 1937 at the dedication of the reconstructed Wright bicycle shop and home at Greenfield Village. The advertisements in the Dayton papers from the early 1890s put the Wright at 1015 West Third Street; nothing ties them to 1005. Orville may have misspoke or his words were recorded incorrectly.

Furthermore, whether it was 1005 or 1015 West Third, nothing occurred there of any historical importance. The Wright brothers sold other people’s bicycles at their first shop. They did not manufacture their own; they did not debate whether to quit the bicycle business and make airplanes.

It’s nothing like, say, 1127 West Third Street – their fourth of fifth location – where the Wright brothers decided to investigate the possibility that man could fly, where they designed and built experimental kites, gliders, and Flyers, including the first airplane to make a sustained and controlled flight (1903) , the first practical airplane (1905), the first commercial airplane (1907), or the first military airplane (1909). This is the spot where aviation began, an endeavor which affects directly or indirectly every aspect of our twenty-first century lives.

What makes this effort to save the first bicycle shop so preposterous is not its dubious historical value, but that a location two blocks away with infinitely more value is marked with a plaque and some grass. Wouldn’t the effort be better expended to create something meaningful at a place where something meaningful happened?

After all, we all know from historical precedent that eventually we’re going to let the City raze the Gem City Ice Cream Building, put up a plaque, and plant grass.
