Well at least I'm not alone Mac, I did actually use mine once to spread
apart a dovetailed box I had to beat together, duh me, but anyway, the ones
I used that day were not slipping and they worked decent for spreading. All
in all I'm very disappointed in Irwin for these clamps, I have other
products by Irwin I do like, but these are too problematic to be useful.

for sure, Paul.. over the years I've used their bar and pipe clamps and they've
been fine...
Maybe they should risk sales volume and make the quick grip a "light duty"
clamp? It seems like the sales lost from the name/duty change would be less that
the cost of replacing or repairing the slipping ones..
