![Quick Grip Clamps for Woodwork Bar Clamp Sets Quick Release One Handed Wood Clamp 4 Pcs [2×4 Inch & 2×6 Inch]](https://images-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81mUwpW-u0L._AC_UL160_SR160,160_.jpg)
I've got two young kids who are ALWAYS breaking things. Half of my house is either broken, or sitting under my workbench waiting to get glued back together. When the breakages got complicated (like wooden train tracks, or boxes), I realised I needed to try and keep the halves together to glue them.
That's when I went to B&Q and bought some of their little G-Clamps. It was awesome.. I clamped around a piece of wood, squeezed tight, and PYOING! off flew the head, embedding itself into a soft toy that I'd almost finished sewing back together after Kid #2 had decided it needed more holes.
So I tried the next G-Clamp, only to realise I'd bought one with the little rubber foot missing, and without it, the clamp was useless. The third G-clamp was better, but it died after a few weeks when the hex nut holding it together fell out and I lost it.. :-/
So, I went on Amazon and found these instead. Externally similar to the cheapo ones at B&Q these are actually FAR more sturdy. The central bar which runs through the clamp is relatively thick and strong, I can't bend it. The clamp jaws are also strong, and although they're plastic, you can see they're reinforced by buttresses and I-beam like reinforcements to stop them snapping.
The trigger and release mechanism works MUCH better than the cheaper ones, making it really easy to clamp and unclamp complex shapes one-handed while you're working.
The fact you get TWO clamps was a lovely surprise. I didn't think you could get two clamps this cheap, and (being a doofus) I ordered two packs, and was surprised to recieve 4 clamps in total). Well, I'm glad I got 4 clamps, since having that many has allowed me to repair many cardboard / wood / metal projects.
The only gripe I have is that the blue 'socks' on the jaws to give them some cushion can slip off if you're gripping something with an odd shape, but that happens very rarely.
Great grips, great for fixing things. pleasantly surprised.
These are pretty darn good.
