Default Anyone used these Rockler clamps?

Aluminum bar clamps tend to bend under pressure.

Stick with steel clamps like Bessy Kbody or Cabinetmasters for longevity.

I bought some that look just like them from Homier and had to throw them
out immediately since the aluminum just ripped up when I tightened them.
So I bought some from HF that look just them. They have lasted much long,
but don't tighten up well and are starting to fail.
So I bought some good ones from Woodcraft

They are very nice, but not cheap. I need some more clamps.

The Rockler are well priced, but they look like the Homier and HF crap.
So, has anyone used them?
