ARMOR TOOL Locking C Clamp Vice Grips - 7" Welding Clamps with Auto Adjust Design & Comfortable Grips Armor Tools A06200G

Great product, very easy to use without the usual required adjustments with other clamps, holds strong for most needs. If you needs stronger hold, then C-clamps are probably not what you’re looking for. Planning on getting additional clamps as it has many practical uses with its longer reach, 5”, relative to the 3-3.5” of normal clamps.

I like the auto feature. Don’t like the cost. Smaller than expected. Used to clamp metal pieces together

These are almost perfect clamps. I love the auto adjust and how tight they clamp. They’re rigid, and don’t seem to collect weld spatter yet on them.My only complaint would be how far the handle springs open, when you open them up. It makes one handed operation different than you’d expect using similar clamps. Otherwise, they’re wonderful so far.

Definitely improves productivity not having to adjust the clamp every time you use it, they have plenty of clamping power, seems durable, and well built. . The only disadvantage I noticed is the fact you can’t tighten the clamp while clamped, as you can with a manual set, so not the best for all applications.Overall, a great purchase.

I had a similar pair from a different brand and they worked great. These are poor quality

Bought for metal stud framing. I use them when holding is low stakes because clamp tension is unreliable. About 1/2 the time it loses tension as i’m closing the clamp. Then i have to open it all the way and try again (repeat until it decides to clock back in). If you have small hands this is a two hand maneuver which is a time wasting pain in the ass & makes me look like a putz. (I’m an apprentice, I don’t need help in that dept…)All that said, the design concept (when functioning properly) is fantastic.

I bought one, and once all my coworkers saw how great these clamps work they all ordered them as well. I feel these are a higher quality than the C.H. Hanson product which I also own. Great for metal framing and holding studs to drywall in topout applications. Not good for pulling objects together as they will adjust to the thickness between the objects under pressure. Definitely easier to release than normal C-clamps but may pinch gloves and skin if not careful when clamping.

I'm finding them easier to use than typical vise grip pliers or clamps. They do hold well and clamp with lower hand pressure. So far I've only used them as clamps for holding small wooden projects while glue is drying. I bought them to use as welding clamps. I'm expecting them to work well for that too.
