    Review of 6R Fast Release Locking Clamp with Regular Tips

    These are NOT made in USA any longer. Irwin was purchased by Newell Rubbermaid and the Nebraska Visa-Grip plant was closed, its employees laid off. All Irwin products are now made in China. Read many reviews before buying--the quality is very bad. Buyer beware!

    Review of Bessey 5-1XXX Edge Clamp

    So this edge clamp adaptor looks like something put together as an afterthought. Don't be fooled and don't think that the other cheap knockoffs are the same. I've tried both. The bessey locks tightly and squarely to a tradesman clamp, turning it into a superior edge clamp with lots of holding power.This was a revelation to me the first time I put some oak edging on a new cabinet.Other brands I tried looked the same but did not fit tightly and took a lot more fiddling to make them work - losing a lot of time and convenience.These are also very handy for use with k-body clamps for some of those odd clamping situations you may run across.

    I was so impressed that I went out and bought another half dozen.

    Review of IRWIN 225104 100 Series 4-Inch C-Clamp

    These clamps from Irwin were much more than I expected. I mean these 4" clamps seem much larger than a little 4" clamp I thought I'd receive. You just can't beat the price or the quality. I do a lot of welding and wanted to add additional clamps to my collection. Being happy with Irwin products in the past, I went with these. I ordered 3", 4" and 6" and these are very well made. I have tightened them down to the point others would have broke and these clamps held fast with no bending, cracking or breaking. I rate these clamps a true 5 stars.

    Review of Quick-Grip 00506 Bar Clamps

    I own many Quick-Grip clamps but this is the one I reach for most often.It's a full size 6" clamp, not the smaller sized 6" or mini-clamps, so it've very strong. And this short 6" length is veryhandy around the shop when you need to clamp a board down to a table, etc.My longer clamps are used for glue ups, but this size and length clampgets more use around the shop durning most projects.
