I'm pretty sure these seals are ok and I'm keeping them because I have some clips too, they were designed for (yellow quick -grip manual clips with less pad rotation) but I needed a new pad for the newer blue version of the clamp which has a pad that rotates more but also tends to fall off. These pads are a replacement design that do not have this issue and are therefore less likely to need replacement at all. Unfortunately this is the link Irwin CS sent me when I asked for replacement pads and there will be any source for pads I really need (including corporate Irwin).
