They suck.


Yep. Toss my hat in with yours. They worked OK for a short while, but after that they found different ways to fail.

The only thing worse they sell in that line at HF? Those fricking squeeze clamps. I purchased carefully in the store, and within one job, all six clamps I bought wouldn't compress //at all//.

Oo, oo! You're talking about these, right?

I think at the time they may have been orange.
I bought 2 and took them back after the handles broke before they'd
actually hold what they were clamped to. :-)


Ah yes, that satisfying *snap* as the internal mechanism lets go and the handle loses all
tension. BTDT
