I'm trying to source some long/deep reach / throat F-clamps, has anyone seen anything locally? I am struggling to find anything online at the usual places e.g. M10 / Bunnings. But I suspect I'm using the wrong words for my search.

Ideally something like this:

140mm / 5 1/2 inches : https://www.carbatec.co.nz/product/37957-bessey-tg-series-clamp-600mm-140mm-throat-?categoryId=1445 ($pendy!)

Thanks, I think those Toolshed clamps are my best option. Was really hoping there was something comparable to the 7" and 9" units from Jorgensen. The reach on the clamps Jorgensen ToolWare is selling is comparable to the Toolshed clamps

+1 for Pony Jorgensen's, I've got a bunch of those and they're good value for the price. If you're in Orkland there was a place up in Silverdale that was selling them relatively cheaply a couple of years back.

However, if it's for a one-off where you don't want to buy a pile of clamps just for that job what about using traditional clamping methods like... not sure what they're called, wedge clamps? Build a U-shaped setup from scrap timber slightly wider than you need to clamp with one of the end pieces cut at an angle, then drive a wedge cut at the same angle in between it and the workpiece to apply clamping pressure. Or can you use band clamps?
