Revainrating 3 out of 5

much more than it appears in the picture

I'm not sure about asterisks. I'm sure it's probably a great tool for the right purpose. I put 3, the middle of the road, although it won't work at all for me because it's too big. For the right purpose it could be 5 stars.

Pros
  • knurled screw sets Jaw volume
Cons
  • There are other interesting possibilities.

If you need it, here's the right tool

Some people might not find a use for this particular tool, but you'll be surprised I'll say, hmmm, now what can I get to order to do this task? Well, here it is. sheet metal clamp; even pinch something glued that will hold until the glue sets, thanks to Revain and the manufacturer for a great product at an affordable price.

Pros
  • One-handed grab and release speeds up the job
Cons
  • Something different

not sure if it's worth giving stars. I'm sure it's probably a great tool for the right purpose. I put 3, the middle of the road, although it won't work at all for me because it's too big. For the right purpose it could be 5 stars.

Pros
  • grabbing and releasing with one hand speeds up the work
Cons
  • little things

Works best with hand tools

Flat surfaces have ridges around them as if cut in a press. I had to file these tabs to avoid damaging the aluminum I was shaping. Also remember that when clamping, the flat surfaces do not lay flat on the raised surface. They are angled towards small objects. The clamp did all the work for me, but it was a simple 30-second sheet aluminum bend project. Not 5 stars because of the tabs on the clips.

Pros
  • Easy to use, even with gloves
Cons
  • thin
