Handy but could grip more firmly [Posted on 2007-01-17]
I've used two of these clamps for about a year and do like the quick release. Some people have commented that it can pinch your fingers. Perhaps that is the case with the shorter models?
The grip is not strong enough for some board joining exercises, e.g. doweling butt joints. I'm not sure whether it is because of the soft yellow grips or something to do with the hand pull. Whatever the case, sometimes you have to wrap the hand pull with duct tape around the fixed blue stem in order to acheive enough clamping force.
I have to say that after purchasing the Jorgensen clamps I am happier with those although the quick release is not as easy to pull.
What more can you say [Posted on 2007-01-31]
These clamps/spreaders are a must have. You'll need to get a variety of sizes and a couple of each. Clamps are not just for cabinet makers. You'll find a hundred uses for these on the jobsite, espicially if you work alone. Buy a few and put them in your truck.
The Clamps not bad but the companysure is [Posted on 2007-01-31]
these 1 handed clamps are great in the shop, a real must have. They don't have the gripping or holding power as the screw types but for most jobs they work great. Most of the time I position the pieces together with one hand holding the work and the other putting the quick clamp on to hold it secure enough to install the heavy duty clamps if need be. There are several compaines who sell 1 handed clamps, Irwin is just one of them. Irwin ,however, will not get any more of my money as they are one of the "sneeky" compaines. I saw the 20/20 show about compaines who use sneeky tacticts and fine print to "weed out" their rebate forms. They try to deter as many as possible from reciving their advertised sales/rebates so they can make more profit. Well Irwin is one of those companies.
My suggestion is yes purchase several of these clamps just don't buy them from Irwin.

Best clamp you can buy when doing furniture and setting countertops! Price is great and very easy to transfer from job to job. Highly recommend you have a few of each size.
It works [Posted on 2007-12-31]
It works. What more is there to say. It's a clamp. You squeeze it and it clamps down on what you have between the pads.
