IRWIN QUICK-GRIP Bar Clamp, One-Handed Clamp/Spreader, 24-Inch (1964720), Blue

Good set of clamps that can be reversed to be a pair of spreaders. These are as good as similar clamps from other vendors. Definitely met or exceeded my expectations, I'd purchase them again.

Nicely madeWorks great

Works like it says

These work, plain and simple. Hard to beat the industry standard. They’re my go-to brand.

This was a super useful tool in replacing some slings on a sling chair. You can use it for clamping something tighter together or with a simple slip of one end pushing something out. I used both for this project... I purchased a large one as it was for chairs...it can go down pretty small but it is hard to use with one hand to hold in place and squeeze..... ultimately a pletha of different sizes would be a great gift... the only thing I wish was a little different at least for the project I used it for....the rubber ends are textured but a rubber end with pointed teeth might have grabbed better.

Great clamp. I like the newer option to be able to use it to spread as well as clamp.It slides well and is easy to clamp and release.

Holds well great clamp

I bought this set to jerry rig into fishing pole holders at the pier. Did not work for that purpose, but they are good clamps and I've had more of these. Again, I really did not need a pair, but there seemed to be no way to buy just one that I saw.I am very pleased by these clamps. They have a very positive and sturdy mechanism, and they develop more clamping pressure than those I've used in the past. They hold their set clamping force without the gradual slippage. All moving parts that are involved in producing and holding the clamping pressure are made from fairly heavy metal. The actual handles are plastic, and the actual clamping jaws seem to be made from a fiber-reinforced plastic of some sort, which are heavier built and apparently sturdier than other ones. The slip-on pads on the jaws are not the greatest, but they seem to do the job well enough.PRO:1. Price per foot.2. Brand.3. Reputation.CON:1. Lacks some of the 'kool' features a more expensive set would have.2. Can't buy just one.3. Plastic can snap over the years, but that plastic keeps the price down.OTHER:BUY if you want reliable product.DON'T BUY if you are wanting top shelf product, that'll cost ya more $$.
