I have some longer clips and found them more difficult to use. Compare them to the longer Dicatte brand. I prefer these smaller 5.5" clamps because it takes a little effort to hold the wood together, hold the clamp in place, and screw the clamps in. The longer the yoke, the more likely it is that the yoke will slip along its entire length, especially when placed at the outer corners. If you had an extra pair of hands to hold, the length wouldn't be an issue. I have small hands as a female so I can hold the smaller Relitec brand much easier if I tighten the grip. The clips get in the way of where you need to put the screw, but also the clips aren't that hard on the wood.
