The pivit point for the handle has a steel dowel as to plastic on the generics. Tighten up Q.C. If these clamps all worked when I got them I'd give them 4 1/2 stars. There are two plate one direction and one the other, my others have only one clutch each direction. Got these about a month ago, one works well, the other slips as soon as it starts to build pressure.
They do fit the hand comfotably, and seem to clamp well when they work. The design seems to be good, clutch plates are heavier than my store brand speed clamps. That said I have yet to get a Toolshop (Menards brand) clamp that didnt work. and these would be good clamps for the money. Havent broke one yet either.
Lightweight, overpriced, and overall poor quality. Anything else would be better. The grip action is halting and stiff, and the clutch is prone to skipping.
None. I purchased 6 Denali Speed Grip Bar Clamp/Spreaders in August 2007. Within 6 months of light use (used 2 or 3 times in my home workshop), three of the clamps have failed and will not hold pressure. I will not buy a Denali product again. When I looked into getting warranty replacements I found out these clamps do not come with any warranty.
Have used them in both configurations. They are durable too, I had them incorrectly holding down a piece I was hammering on, and when they gave way, they still work fine. The 24-inch travel is very very useful. They should have given way btw, I was being lazy and using them incorrectly. Solid "ratcheting" handle.Only slight drawback is the release is a bit sudden, you cannot make small releases, so you just have to hold the work when you release. Great clamps/spreaders.
Worked fine for a while then they just quit holding a grip. Pay a little more for a name brand and get reliable quality.Denali DeNoWay. No warranty.
