GOOD HOLD/ LIGHT WEIGHT CLAMPS

Reviewed by: danupsman

Review Summary

After reading a few reviews on this clamp I decided that I could benefit from their use even though I own hundreds of other types and sizes of clamps. Often when I'm clamping a jig, fixture or piece of material in place for accurate placement, I need a clamp where the jaws don't create movement of the piece I'm clamping, as most turn handle type clamps sometimes have a tendency to do. This clamp excels in this situation, although it does take two hands to adjust it properly.

…

It doesn't generate huge holding grip , but it's hold has been sufficient enough for any thing I've used it for so far. I like the fact that this clamp is very light in weight, which makes for less overall weight in my job site tool bag, and less likely to damage the woodwork if dropped. It's a little pricey , but in my opinion, worth the cost for at least two in every wood shop.
