Gene Howe Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 Saw these being used in a YouTube video. Found some at Lowes. They're great for clamping temporary things like stop blocks, etc. Quicker than my 6" Jorgies. They hold well. And, much easier to use than spring clamps.

Cal Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 I bought a couple at a Milwaukee store last winter. I have been pretty happy with them so far, Cal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmealy Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 I got a couple of these in an assortment a few years back. I found them hard to get much clamping force with them. But maybe for temporary or light duty use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HandyDan Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 Be careful using them for stop blocks. I have some and they can be knocked off the mark because of not enough hold. They are great for gluing small stuff. Used the heck out of them when doing the inside out ornaments. HARO50 and p_toad 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schnewj Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 +1 on the holding. I have two and rarely use them. I find that they have a tendency to slip. I have less bulky clamps that hold much better, just not as convenient to use. They are great for very light duty such as Dan shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Howe Posted August 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 Mine are used for stop blocks on a sled's wooden fence. No slippage....yet. Haven't tried them on a metal surface. kmealy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stick486 Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 keep in mind they're a bit more fragile than most clamps.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 I bought over 20 of these clamps and found them not very helpful. I do try and find a use for a couple Milwaukee sand Irwin's. I returns all but 4. I force my self to use them.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerald Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 I got some of the blue ones for Christmas and just do not find them useful. Not enough power and slip off too easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Didn't even make a place for them to hang. Right dar on da bottom of the shelf..They have collected me more dust than money thus far. Gerald and p_toad 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Howe Posted September 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 I guess I'm just lucky, so far. None have slipped off my sled fences. Though, I wouldn't trust them on plastic or metal. I can always use them to hold potato chip bags closed. HARO50 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 (edited) These would actually be better choices of clamps in this range... The Milwaukee and Irwins are just too expensive to not give 100% pressure.. Edited September 24, 2017 by BillyJack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
