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. :-)
Yessireee... that is the very POS I was talking about. I use a lot of squeeze clamps as I work by myself a lot. I thought I was being smart as they had them for $2.99 or something like that so I bought about 5. Having broken a squeeze clamp, I was able to look into the mechanism of those things. I don't know how they screwed those us so completely, but they sure did.
They weren't worth the time it took to throw them away - ALL of them failed in a week or so.

Yep, took those apart, they didn't have enough plastic in the bosses, so
they cocked to the side and were done. A very simple fix on their
part,useless as they are.
