I have many of them, of various lengths, and they work fine.

Make sure you buy them when they're 1/2 off, or you'll be kicking yourself.

Menard's also sells them, and when on sale (usually in the spring), are
cheaper than HF.

Can I safely go cheap with these bar clamps from Harbor Freight:

Or are they not worth it? Perhaps the bar isn't as thick as the
Jorgensen clamps I can get at Home Depot (for twice the price).
