Any one know any that fit properly and stay on securely?

The spring collars don't fit and the L-screw collars come off and are a pain to even get tight in the first place.

Seen these lock-jaw collars but they are expensive!

Any help would be geatly appreciated!

A pair of socks works fine for me.

If you're using a scaf bar as a axle then it will only be 48mm so most collars won't fit. I use the same method as JT those s**tty old wrist straps have never been so usefulGrin

I used l-screw collars on my scaffolding bar until last weekend.

I replaced the l-screw bit with two bolts from B&Q and tightened them up with a spanner. Works a treat and cost about £3 for the pair of bolts.
