I bought an 8 pack of speed clamps, spring clamps, and gripper clamps for 29.99 at Home Depot. I went there to buy 4 small speed clamps, they cost 16 bucks a pop. 16 x 4 = 64 dollars for 4 little speed clamps.

I saw on the shelf below an 8 pack

2 midsize Speed Clamps

2 small Speed Clamps

2 spring clamps

2 pressure clamps

all for 29.99.

I came away for once feeling like I got a great deal.

Just a heads up if you got an HD nearby!

Makes me wish there was a HD closer than 50 miles away. Lowe's has a 4 pack of 6" quick grips right now for $19.95 if you look around the store enough to find where they go the display hidden . I need some longer ones. Got some longer HF ones  but I can exert more pressure with my fingers than they do

Thanks John for posting. I picked up some last night before work for $25.90 after the Military discount. I use the speed clamps more than any clamps that I own. When clamping with the speed clamps you have to pay close attention to alignment because the jaws aren't exactly parallel to each other and you can get a little movement. The gripper clamps are great for small boxes and delicate clamping jobs that don't require a lot of clamping pressure.

How'd ya do John!

I looked at the HF clamps Greg and I was very weary of their holding power.

Alrigth Mike!!!! These are the first speed clamps I have ever owned, and I love them. They are truly like a second set of hands. I can hold a piece in place with one hand and clamp with the other very easily.

Thanks for clarifying what I suspected. Glad I didn't spend the money.
