Lowe's also has this "special" from time to time. I love these clamps - I now have 32 of them!

Yep these are great clamps and I use mine all of the time. I even used them to build my shop as a third hand so-to-speak while the HHG dried..... :D

I also really like these, but, I have some before they were Irwin brand and some after they became Irwin brand (bought at lowes on special). The old ones, really old, still work perfect, my Irwin brand versions began to slip after a year or so of use when I squeeze with a lot of pressure, they still work but not like the older ones that appear to be identical in every way, maybe I just got a bad batch.

Hm...I have one that slips. And my old ones are still perfect.
