These came out of a facility that does a lot of assembly work. I don't know if they dipped the jaws or if De-Sta-Co did it but they look professionally done. The actual color is a true orange color, quite a bit darker than the photos. The photos show a really light orange. They all appear to be unused.
I also have another listing for a modified version of these. It's listed under De-Sta-Co ST988V-6 Rev E. They have a V block welded to the jaw to make it easier to clamp round, angled, or odd shaped pieces. I also have a large qty. of USED clamps if you prefer those. Just let me know what you're looking for and if I have them, I'll pull them and take a photo and give you a lot price.
