Default Good Harbor Freight product IMHO

I know you have to be very carful buying from Harbor Freight and much
of their stuff is pretty bad. I once had one of their quick squeeze
clamps crumble in my hand the first time I used it so I threw the
others out. However, I have to say I am very pleased with these hefty
little clamps at an incredible price.

I have a few each of the short ones (maybe 6 and 10 inch) and they are
working great.

I bought a bunch of them. They were on sale and I used a coupon too. They
have worked well. Both for metal work and wood work. I even used them to
stabilize some tree branches to cut them up with a reciprocating saw. I am
happy with them.

The only ones that failed were used to hold some metal that was being
grinded. And the only reason they failed was that the grinder kept taking
chunks out of them. It couldn't be avoided though. And I could not have
done the job without them.
