If these clamps are used as their design is intended (gluing up cabinet, drawer, etc joints), they perform adequately. The thumbscrew works just fine for applying the desired pressure. The adjustable head moves freely and effortlessly IF the bar is clean. Be sure to immediately remove any glue drippings that finds its way to the bar or the next time you go to move the head it will hang up. I used these clamps in gluing up a 2x4 laminated workbench top. This operation stretched them (and then some) to the maximum of their capability. Multiple clamps spaced closely together were required to press the bow out of some of my pieces. In retrospect, a heavier duty ž" Pony clamp would have been better fitted for this particular job. But if you use these within their limits, they will perform for a long time.
I have four of these clamps and I need about eight more. When it comes to achieving a strong solid glue joint, good clamping is absolutely essential. These clamps are easy to use with the sliding clamp head and can apply a strong pressure to the piece you're gluing. You can put a wood shim under the jaws to avoid marring the wood surface. The bar will rust if not oiled or waxed but a little steel wool will clean it up. The 36" will handle most clamping needs and the price is low enough to allow buying enough for uniform clamping.
I am buying some clamps for my husband for Father's Day and thought the Quick-Grip clamps would be good. My husband said they are convenient, but if you really need to squeeze something tight go with a good old fashioned clamp. He likes these (24" and 34").
These clamps are a good cost effective way to accumulate a collection for making cabinets, without going broke. The bars do flex a lot under high clamping force, but usually this much force is not needed for glued joints.I have 8 of these right now in various lengths and will add more later.
There is a saying in woodworking that you can never have enough clamps. Well, these are the clamps we are referring to when we say that.These clamps are terrific, with incredible strength. You get good leverage on the thumbscrew -- incredible power with minimal effort. If, for example, you glue up a bookshelf and the shelves have some separation from the walls, these clamps will bring them nice and flush, and hold them that way until the glue sets.The only thing you have to remember is that, with this kind of strength, you have to take a couple of precautions. First, you should be careful not to OVER-tighten the clamps. If you're clamping up boards to make a wide panel, for example, you want to tighten just enough until some glue squeezes out -- beyond that and you could warp the board. Also, you have to pad your wood before tightening. All I do is use a 1/2" thick piece of scrap wood wedged between the clamp mouth and the project wood.If you do a lot of woodworking, I would say that you have GOT to have a whole stack of these
