   You mean they're not called the "thingamajig", the "whatchamacallit", and the "screw-thingie"?

   Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right.

   Yeah, right, on a C-clamp it's the "round C thing" and the "straight screwy thing".

   Just out of curiosity, why do you want to know?

   BTW, years ago I learned the verb "to ting": "Tinging" a tool is when you pitch it across the shop, it bounces off the concrete floor and goes "Ting!".

   The Adjustable Clamp Co in Chicago has a catalog of parts for the Pony Clamps and others, which identifies the pieces.
