sounds like the quick release bar clamps and the aluminum bar clamps are the
only ones worth it

I have a pile of the HF aluminum bar clamps that you can have. They're
junk.

the quick release ratcheting clamps with the pistol grip are no good and have
no power

Agreed. Fortunately I didn't have much invested in them before I
figured it out.

but i have a tiny set of the pistol-grip ratcheting clamps and i find uses for
them for small stuff

i was hand planing and went off the edge and caused a splinter
the splinter did not come free so i put a dab a glue and a small clamp
and it was just right
