My only experience with the HF aluminum bar clamps is in the store.
They seemed very flimsy.

I haven't bought any or even looked at any in the store in several years,
but the ones I own are as substantial as one could expect from a clamp of
this style. They have never failed me nor shown any signs of weakness or
poor design.

People here say that HF's products change from time to time. I haven't
been in there often enough to know. I am however confident that what I
saw there as recently as a couple of months ago was junk. I'm not
particularly a snob about using cheap stuff that works, but these really
didn't look or feel good.
