I keep getting more Tekton products. I love this C clamp, I use it for welding and for my drill press. It works well and looks sturdy, should hold up well. Any vise I normally use with OG Irwin products but heck let's try this. It's not Irwin, but for half the price it certainly does the job and I can finally afford a few. That makes me happy. >> Update1 A year and a few hundred uses later, the clamp works like new. No backlash or rust deformation was formed. If I could make one suggestion, it would be the addition of one of Hanson's future models, which is that little protrusion on the release handle. I pinch my fingers with Tekton and Irwin clamps but not Hanson clamps. However I only own one Hanson because it was a gift, I would still get 2 Tekton instead of just owning one of the others :)
