buy a few the word online is that the ryobi eyebolt/wingnut driver
works on these clamps once you remove the crappy stock handle

anyone tried this out


If you are serious about woodworking and plan to use the clamps often
it is very likely that you will seldom use these clamps once you
replace them with better ones.


I have to admit that I have not really followed this thread, but what I will
say is that over time. the Harbor Freight clamps have not received bad
reviews by people here. Perhaps those were different clamps than what are
being referred to in this thread, and that would be my bad, but as a whole
as I've seen it, the HF clamps have received pretty good reviews here. Not
sure why you would talk about them in terms of "better clamps".
