These pads don't stick to my work after being left for days either. I bought 2 sets to use on my old no name clamps and they didn't fit but, they fit perfectly on the Bessey clamps I just bought so I will be buying several dozen more. For those who complain about the price, $2.25 per clamp is cheap insurance. ***** It just takes one project to be damaged from clamp jaws to realize that.
There will be occasions when these clamp pads are useful, when their limited surface and rubber construction make them ideal.Yet, there will be times when they slip off, don't spread the pressure enough or just can't be found. After all it's a high price to pay for just four pieces of rubber. The pony clam is a delightful clamp to use, but I'd rather just find a piece of scrap wood that is just the right size or spans two or more clamps. Save yourself the five dollars.
These are so hard to find at home improvement stores and you can't beat the price on Amazon.
These pads work great on Rockler "Surefoot" pipe clamps as well as the Pony clamps. One less thing to worry about during glue-ups.
I made this door out of 2x6 tongue-and-groove decking boards, which I needed to clamp together to attach 2x4 bracing. So I left the door until the next weekend and ordered these clamp pads.Now I have a nice shed with a sturdy, attractive door on it. Some cedar shims against the clamp pads promptly crumpled when I tightened the clamps. I built a shed recently with a wide door to accomodate big tools. So a pair of "Pony" clamp fixtures and a couple lengths of black pipe was just the ticket -- or almost. And no clamp marks.Strongly recommended. The decking boards needed a bit of persuasion to get all 9 planks together, and I didn't want to gouge the nice oak.
