4" Quick-Grip Handi-Clamp - 59400CD  Product Reviews

"Great clamp that is quick and easy to clamp wood or anything up to 4" with good pressure."

"These are good light application clamp. I recieved them from my son's as a gift. I use them a lot for holding trim pieces on jewelry boxes while I line them up for glueing. Spring clamps put too much pressure on the pieces and they tend to slide around before the glue dries. The long reach makes them ideal for this application. Havn't had any of them break or lose the springs as noted in other reviews. They are a very handy size and easy to use with one hand. Recommend them as a light clamp for special applications."

"Good for holding a part to a table when not much torque is required. Faster to install and release than a C clamp."

"I picked up a couple of these on a whim while running errands at the Borg. Seemed like a handy and simple idea. I have tried to use them quite a few times but have yet to find anything at which they excel. They actually clamp with less pressure than your hand can exert. The ratchet slips often, especially when you happen to pick up the clamp with it on the top handle. The rotating pads are more of a hassle than an advantage. They often rotate out of position, making it more of a 3 hand clamp than a 1 hand clamp, and also make the clamps essentially unusable on round objects.Buy large spring clamps instead. They cost less, clamp harder, and work more reliably.I am a real fan of Quik Grip clamps, so this worthless product really took me by surprise. They need to pull it off the market."
