12" Bar Clamps for Woodworking, Medium 170 lbs One-Handed Spreader/Clamp, Light-Duty Quick-Clamp F Wood Clamps Set for Hand Wood Working Crafts Grip Gluing - 4 Pack

This set of sturdy clamps is certain to come in handy for a variety of woodworking tasks. The smooth track makes them highly responsive to tighten quickly and effectively. The rubber grips are easy to remove if necessary. Converting it to a spreader is easy to do and is an excellent feature not found on all types of clamps. The perfect addition to any household.

Good. I found it.

I have a few brands of budget clamps I use, Harbor Freight, Husky and such. These are about on par with those clamps, great strength for holding your wood glue ups or trim work. The big difference is the quick release mechanism versus using a screw. The push button doesn't work that well, there is minimal clearance which is good for strength but it makes using the button very difficult. The price however is great, basically $5 a clamp!

I don't do woodworking/ carpentry work very much but when I do, I always need some clamps for something. These clamps have come in handy a few times since getting them and they have worked good for me. I would say these are more of a "medium duty" type of clamp that are pretty easy to use, most of the time. The only real issue I've had is that they can bind up and cause them to be a bit tough to release. I would guess this is due to how they are made and have loose tolerances that end up binding up under pressure. That said, for 4 clamps for less than $30 at the time of writing this, is hard to beat if you're needing clamps like this.Overall, these work good but can be a little stubborn to release sometimes. They work and don't break the bank, especially if this is for DIY / beginner carpentry projects.

As many other reviewers have said, you can never have too many clamps! This set is a good for light duty clamping needs. They are no substitute for a good bar clamp but they aren't meant to be. These have a good grip and are easy to pump closed. I love that the fixed end can be reversed to turn this into a spreader instead of a clamp. For the price, they're a great addition to the workshop.

I would have given these five stars, but I had a bear of a time getting the jaw to release so I could use the tool as a spreader.Other than that, good quality and a good value for the price.

We both know that there are a ton of versions of this style clamp out there but I've been a woodworker for years and I can tell you this is maybe the best iteration of these clamps I've ever used. The clamping action is solid and the movement of the handles on the clamping bar is nice and smooth. The finish on the steel parts is clean and the plastic parts are nicely molded with no sharp edges that are offensive to your hands. This is a great little set of clamps for lots of jobs. The heads are reversible so you can use them for prying things apart as well as holding them together. It didn't expect clamps of this quality but I got them and they are better than unexpected.

The media could not be loaded. I needed some bar clamps for a flowerbox project. I saw these and tried them out - here's what I like: - At 12 inches they can easily clamp boards on edge, - They have good grip, the rubber feet that protect the object being clamped stay put. - Operation is pretty smooth, the pressure needed to clamp objects isn't too high, and the release is pretty easy. - The rubber feet that are at the point of clamping do a good job of protecting the object being clamped. - The grip is good enough for sawing or drilling. - The feet can be removed for cleaning. Some comments... - While the feet are pretty secure when new, I'm not sure how frequent removals will affect their longevity.Overall, I like these clamps - both the size and the ease of operation.
