Default Bar clamps - is MLCS any good? Other recommendations?

MLCS is a great company with good prices. I have bought lots of good
quality cutters for way less than anywhere else. But when it comes to
clamps, I would go cheap..... Like a local Harbor Freight..... But that's
just me. I would rather put my $$ into good tools.


I've bought a few Penn State Industries clamps and haven't had great
results. The jaw of one of their quick-grip style clamps broke, and
the (plastic) handle on one of their heavy-duty deep-reach bar clamps
broke. The handscrews have been great though. Just be sure to wax
them before you use them.
