IRWIN QUICK-GRIP One-Handed Bar Clamp, Heavy-Duty, 24", 1964714

I evaluated many similar products before settling on this more expensive name-brand clamp. I am very happy with the decision. This is solidly made, and works very well.

Heavy duty clamps, work well.

I'm a hardcore woodworker. I've used these heavy duty clamps for about 20 years. The only thing better than one of these clamps is several of them. With a little practice you can routinely reach for one of these clamps with one hand (while the other hand is holding a couple pieces of wood together), flip the clamp upside down, press the release trigger, and gravity will slam it shut. Then you can torque it as tight as you want with the big trigger. These clamps can squeeze as hard as a screw clamp, but they're 10 times faster and don't mar the wood. A friend of mine at work said he wouldn't buy these because the jaws are plastic. He is a fool who will never know what he's missing. These clamps are incredible tools. I recommend, and I'm certain you won't regret your purchase.

I ended up with eight of these for a very involved roofing project. The 2x6x16 lumber used was from a big box store, poorly dried and warped horribly when left out while building the lean to roof. Used these to 'straighten' the rafters using both clamp and spreader configuations during sheathing installation, fix the rafter bird mouth cut to the 4x6 header while fastening with screws to maintain a tight joint. These work wetted by the rain as well as they do dry, although I did blow them down with compressed air after removal. These clamp TIGHT with little to no flex of the bar between the ends. Impressive quality!

awesome quality heavy duty

Using to replace the fabric on patio sling chairs.. it works fairly well.. fits okay but barely strong enough to spread the frame to fit the rods in their slots once new fabric is attached. Maybe use the next size larger. This will spread it more than wide enough, but could be stronger to maintain spread.

Nice product, fast shipping, good communication

I can’t say how much I love these clamps. It has to be one of my top ten favorites and I have lots of tools. This is great for the person who is almost always working alone but needs something held in place. I have used it to hold fence board in place while I screwed them in also to hold my compound miter saw while cutting vertical dock 6x6 posts off. I have also used them with a socket to push in brake calipers. I could go on.
