I needed a lot of medium pressure clips to make a hard surface countertop. I rarely use this type of clamp, so I really didn't want to spend more than I had to. do a one-off job. For the price I wanted to try them before spending more. I always buy the best tools because I see them as an investment. These clamps do not have extreme clamping force which is not required for most connection operations. You don't want to squeeze so hard that there isn't any glue to hold your pieces together. These clips worked great and I'm using them again now, but it probably won't be necessary as I have all the attachments ready for my kitchen and bathroom.
