August 6, 20178 yr 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.
August 6, 20178 yr I bought a couple at a Milwaukee store last winter. I have been pretty happy with them so far, Cal
August 6, 20178 yr 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?

August 6, 20178 yr 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.
August 6, 20178 yr +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.
August 6, 20178 yr Author Mine are used for stop blocks on a sled's wooden fence. No slippage....yet. Haven't tried them on a metal surface.
September 24, 20178 yr 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....
September 24, 20178 yr I got some of the blue ones for Christmas and just do not find them useful. Not enough power and slip off too easily
September 24, 20178 yr 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.
September 24, 20178 yr Author 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.
September 24, 20178 yr 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, 20178 yr by BillyJack
