One of mine did that after being overtightened. I just unscrewed it

They don't make G clamps like they used to. BnQ are doing set of 3 I saw

for £3.50 the lot you can't grumble - even if they don't last.

You should be able to get 3 small oldies for that price that'll last a lifetime. I could grumble.
