Review on 8-inch Original Locking Sheet Metal Tool by Amazon Basics by Kenneth Witte

This set should include pliers for 6", 9" and 11" C clamps. I have two nines and a 6 that you put on can see in the photos. The 11" was the one I really wanted. So it was a big disappointment. They still don't have that "hard" feel that you get from really well-made instruments. Various moving parts oscillate to remarkably tight tolerances. 1/4 inch piece of steel for my workbench which you can see in the photos. I couldn't move this steel with my hands. It was very tight. Adjustment is fairly easy, as with any vise. The C-Clamp offers more flexibility for a variety of clamping applications, especially welding. But I mostly use them for woodwork and other jobs around the house where regular clamps won't work. The quality of the steel seems satisfactory. not the best. The thickness of the steel seems a bit lacking. Even the riveted swivel and spring barely feel appropriate to me. But then again I've been using them in the store for about 3 weeks and they've held up great so far. The pressure is pretty good. Overall, I'm not particularly impressed with these tools. You do the work. And I like the negative pressure. But I'm interested in durability and reliability. On a scale of 1 to 10, the build quality is "maybe". 4. Also, I didn't get the 11 inch screen I wanted. So 3 stars seems appropriate.
