These are the nicest clamps I've ever had! They are quick and easy to use. Can be applied with one hand while holding something together. The clamping force is very strong. I've been using a pair of these for the last year or so in my new workshop and I don't know how I got along without them! It's like having an extra pair of hands to hold pieces together while drilling holes and putting in screws. I just got through putting together a workbench using the 4X4 Basics Work Bench Kit and a set of shelves on it with the 4X4 Basics Shelf Links system. I never would have been able to get it all together without being able to use these clamps to hold things while I drilled and screwed pieces together. With the rubber caps on the clamping faces I didn't have to worry about marking the finish on the pieces either like the old pipe clams or big C clamps would. And they are a lot easier to apply and remove one handed which is very difficult to do with pipe clams and C clamps.

Before building my workbench I used them while putting together a 10'x10' Barn Style Storage Shed from a kit that I got from Lowe's. These things helped so much I got almost the entire project done by myself only needing help standing up the walls and decking the roof. I also used them when building several sets of shelves with the 4X4 Basics Shelf Links for my shop and storage building. And even for that these held things together for me while putting in the screws. (I used screws for almost everything that was usually done with nails) After a year of use they still work flawlessly.

I like them so much I had to order this 4 pack. Now that I got them my only complaint is that I didn't order 2 packs of them instead of just the one! Since I'm retired after being a machinist for over 25 years I have a thing about quality tools, and that's what these are. They are well made and work like they are supposed to.

I highly recommend these clamps for anybody's workshop.

UPDATE 11/2/12

Well, now that I'm getting into using the workshop I spent the last year building and tooling up I'm now ordering another 4 piece set of these clamps. I forgot to add before that I was a little worried about these being made of,, you guessed it, plastic. But the four piece micro clamp set and the 2 piece 18" pair I got have held up under the heaviest use and the most clamping force that I can put on them. Which with my big hands, & since I'm 6'4" and 240 pounds I have pretty big hands and a very strong grip, so I can put a LOT of force on clamping these. I think they would even hold up if you used one clamp to squeeze down the clamp on another one. So again I can highly recommend these for anybody that has a workshop. Anything from your kitchen table to a small area in a back room, or a closet in a bedroom turned into a work space, or a full basement or garage workshop, and up to a full sized manufacturing company with a building covering 10 acres. Like the Halliburton shop I worked in in Duncan Oklahoma back in 1981 to 83. You need several pairs of these!

These are great tools to have on hand—I find myself using them all the time. What really stands out is how well they’ve held up; despite frequent use, they still perform like they’re brand new. That kind of durability is hard to come by and really speaks to the quality.

I originally bought this set because the price caught my attention, but I ended up getting far more than I expected. It’s rare to find something that’s both affordable and high quality, but this definitely delivers on both.

The seller was perfect to work with—everything went smoothly from start to finish. Shipping was fast, the tools arrived in great condition, and the whole experience was hassle-free.

Overall, I’m extremely happy with this purchase and would absolutely buy from this seller again. Highly recommended if you’re looking for dependable tools at a great price!

Product delivered on time. I have used these in the past and ordered these shorter one’s and they worked very well. They are a good product and will give me lots of use.

I purchased a 4-pack of 6" Irwin clamps recently to complete a puzzle board project I was working on. Here are the takeaways:

1. They look flimsier than their DeWalt counterpart, HOWEVER they provide just as much hold as well as the metal shaft being thicker and less bendable comparing to DeWalt's.

2. Jaws (pic included) open wider than DeWalt's by a half inch. Sure, the package says they open to 6" tops, but the extra wiggle room is very welcome

3. The pads are not textured at all and can feel slippy on the work piece, BUT that is completely aleviated by a steady pressure clamp provides. I imagine the pad can be easily replaced with extra accesories wich makes it pretty versatile, but that could be said for any clamp.

4. Value. The 2-pack of similar DeWalt clamps cost me as much 4-pack of Irwins. What a steal, this one!

Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase. I am hesitant to speak about its longevity, but so far (about a month) they served me well and functioned as expected. A good one, Irwin, for sure!

Been buying these clamps for 20+ years. I have over 30 of them now but still don't seem to have enough because I use them on every woodworking project. It's great to be able to hold something with one hand and completely clamp with the other. Can't say enough good things about them and I highly recommend.

Fantastic! So convenient so well-made

Very well made and easy to use. I used them to glue two pieces of injection molded plastic together. The one-handed operation was great

Great product and good price. Size for multiple uses.

Imperative item to have as a second pair of hands. Brilliant device. Works well with workmate bench.

Like having an extra set of hands!

I used these IRWIN QUICK-GRIP clamps today while building a workbench, and they were absolutely awesome.

I was installing 2x4s that I was using as brace supports, and I was working by myself. I needed something that could securely hold the boards in position while I nailed them because I didn’t have anyone there to hold the boards for me.

These clamps did exactly what I needed. They’re extremely easy to operate with one hand, which meant I could position the 2x4 with one hand and secure the clamp with the other. Once tightened, I experienced absolutely no slipping. The boards stayed exactly where I positioned them while I nailed everything into place.

I was especially impressed by how well these smaller 6-inch clamps handled the 2x4s. They essentially became an extra set of hands and allowed me to complete the project by myself without trying to balance a board while simultaneously using a hammer.

The quick-release mechanism also makes repositioning them incredibly easy. I could secure a board, nail it, release the clamp and move on to the next section without constantly fighting with the tool.

The four-pack is great because having several clamps available at once gives you a lot more flexibility when assembling a project.

After actually putting them to work, I’m extremely happy with them. They’re compact, easy to use, grip extremely well and made building my workbench by myself considerably easier.

If you do woodworking, DIY projects or frequently find yourself working without another person around to hold things in place, these are incredibly handy to have.

Excelentes, muy buen precio y muy buena calidad la verdad. Se sienten resistentes y funcionan de maravilla.

Used these for a bunch of different DIY tasks and they're great, much more clamping force than I expected from the size and ease of use.

Produto excelente
