User Comments about the IRWIN 225106 100 Series 6-Inch C-Clamp

Could not get by without them. Great clamps made by a great company. I have several of these in various sizes. Love Irwin products. Very strong, functions flawlessly and maintains its great appearance even when using while welding.

(After using the first one once, it's screw stops more than an inch to the left of the anvil). For comparison, my dirt cheap 6" c-clamp from an off-brand distributor has done this many, many times over the last few years. I used this clamp to press the piston back into a brake caliper on a car. This one twisted like a pretzel the first time I used it.Update: Just received a replacement and it, fresh out of the box, already has a bit of a twist to it. I highly recommend against buying this product. When I screw it closed, the screw hits the anvil off-center.

These clamps are pretty to look at but not worth the money. Not only is the "double threaded screw" slow to adjust (you have to turn it twice as many times to tighten) it becomes difficult and binds before the screw reaches the maximum opening distance. I purchased several of the 4" and 6" Irwin c-clamps and was immediately disapointed. The second time I used them one of the clamps broke while I was tightening it right at one of the bends in the "c" casting and gave my thumb a heck of a whack. I would have given them one star but I was able to complete the glue-up successfully. I use c-clamps almost every day in my work as a boatbuilder and this has never happened with any of the "Adjustable Clamp" brand clamps that are in use at the shop.
