You just can't beat the price or the quality. I mean these 4" clamps seem much larger than a little 4" clamp I thought I'd receive. I have tightened them down to the point others would have broke and these clamps held fast with no bending, cracking or breaking. I ordered 3", 4" and 6" and these are very well made. These clamps from Irwin were much more than I expected. I do a lot of welding and wanted to add additional clamps to my collection. I rate these clamps a true 5 stars. Being happy with Irwin products in the past, I went with these.
The threads on these clamps are fine enough that I can really ease up to the maximum pressure I am going for without clamping with too much force. These clamps are very sturdy, easy to clamp down hard, the threads turn smoothly, and as far as I can tell they are pretty rust resistent. I purchased 10 of these to use for wide panel glue-ups, where I place a clamp at each glue joint (sometimes with and sometimes without a straight edge to clamp against). In the rare instances when I have really wanted to apply some torque with these, the handles have not flexed or bent at all (which is a problem with some of the cheaper c-clamps I have used).If you have a need for some small c-clamps, I highly recommend these. I find that this helps me to align the boards perfectly while the glue is still wet and thus I have a lot less sanding to do later.
