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


I have eight of the ones they sell now; the ones with the two-tone blue
handles. I have used all of them, although not too many times. I suspect
that trying to apply great force might be bad for these molded-on
handles, but the force they are capable of was plenty to make the glue
squeeze out, so they seemed useful at a very low cost. The "fit and
finish" doesn't seem too bad actually.

I've tried their "Quick-Grip" style clamps, but only in the store. Those
immediately felt like junk. I'm surprised they didn't break right there
in the store.
