Any using a better clamp or know of a better clamp than the dinky stock plastic one?

I've heard the 45 RPM clamp VPI sells is better. The knurled knob is kinda dinky, but that's what ya get for $8. The 45 RPM clamp can be bought off eBay for $25-ish.
I purchased a clamp made out of aluminum from www.ttweights.com for my 16.5 that works very well and I am very pleased with it.

I have one of these too and HIGHLY recommend it!
When I am cleaning records with my VPI 16.5, I have never had an issue with the record slipping so I don't see the need.
