Just received today and felt compelled to write my review right away. These clips are bold and strong, well built and durable. My application is for quick release and I made the right choice. The clamp looks like it could handle a few hundred pounds of clamping force, but there's a lot more available. I have no doubt these clamps will last for years. Easy to use, with a smooth transition from fully open to fully closed with an applied force that can easily damage something if you're not careful. Great product in my opinion.
