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.




I have a couple of these in 12" from HF. I especially like the quick
release and the fact that the bottom side of the bar is toothed for the
release. You just push the movable jaw to the work and the jaw stays. No
slipping back of the movable jaw until the release is used.
If you are strong enough to push the jaws together on the work, you
don't even have to use the screw handle to tighten, unless you want to
crush something.
