Great Screw Clamps, General Purpose

Irwin is one of the world's most common names for one handed tools, aka "quick releases" and I have owned several of their screw clamps for use in a variety of household settings for several years. House work. One of my main complaints, which I have always had with Irwin clamps, is that the non-scratch pads came off after only a few uses, so I always had trouble getting them to grip, clamp something, and then stop. what I did to track my steps around the yard or house to find the spot where the upholstery fell off (I'm sure I'm not the only one); The Irwin also seemed to lose its clamping force and release torque after about 6 months but is still 3 hand capable unless I need a lot of pressure to glue something or keep something from turning during drilling time . . Then I went with DeWalt clips simply because one day my local hardware store didn't have Irwins, I didn't trust the cheap design of the store's branded clips and DeWalt clips were the only brand choice; I was wary at first knowing that hand tools aren't necessarily DeWalt's bread and butter, but after 3 years of use I can honestly say I haven't had the problems I have with Irwin brand clamps. When I first got into woodworking, I found that the old adage "You can't have enough clamps" is actually true (or extra "hands" in my case with a project this week. I don't need anything with more power Clamps so I was looking for quick clamps and came across this 4 piece set under Jorgensen's direction and I wouldn't be afraid to use them for gluing in small projects like puzzles, boxes, jewelry boxes etc. The non-scratch pads are well designed to staying in place and not slipping and coming loose easily like Irwin and other brands, instead they have thick jaws that you really need to work a bit to push them out and then put them back in. The trigger is good inside too arranged ri trigger housing;I used to scrape the trigger on my Inrwin and DeWalt clamps with my knuckles.These clips are also more versatile than other brands.1) The toggle Opening the end for use as a spreader is done easily and without the use of tools by pressing a button on the end of the clamp to release it from the bar rather than having to remove the mechanical stop in the bar like I've seen with other brands . 2) You can connect 2 Jorgensen clips together to make a longer clip if needed as the ends of the clips are formed into puzzle shapes that securely connect the 2 clips together, allowing you to use the combined clips with one hand - not more Try to align opposing surfaces by clamping them with both hands, and juggle clamps and pieces you might want to squeeze together! This second feature was unexpected, but I can recall over a dozen times over the past 2 years that I could have used this feature if only it had been on my Irwin or DeWalt clamps! to attempt! At the moment, Revain is still only showing the price of a 4 PC pack as 25% higher than a 2 PC PKG pack, so this is a very strong reading as long as supplies continue at the current price. I actually order another set for myself to keep in the garage where they get used a lot, and send all the Irwin and DeWalt clamps to the basement and backyard shed when I need something quick without scrambling to the spot. collar garage.
