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//.

I wouldn't even buy a 'C' clamp at HF, anymore.

Too bad. I bought their quick release C clamp a few years ago. And it
has lasted well. Same as the bessey. I recently bought one for my son
for Christmas, I did have to work on it, to clean up the burrs on the
half nut.. But it's now a very useable clamp. It all depends on what
you need. Some tools are not worth it. Some are the same as others.
Years ago, I picked up a couple of gear head clamps.. they are my best
clamps of that ilk . I think Jorgensen sued them, so they stopped
carrying them.

Then Jorgensen went out of business. Now restarting up again. They are
great.
