Quick Grip Clamps

[LCHIEN]

While searching hoplessly for the 4-outlet 12 ga extension cords at HD,
I snagged a four pack of 6" Irwin Quick Grips for $19.97. They have this deal periodically at HD, Lowes and Rockler.
That's a pretty good price, for $5 each. I guess its a special package, they were on an end cap display when I walked by.

they also have individual Irwin clamps at HD and Lowes with a buy one get one free mail-in rebate sticker on them (from 6" up to 24" i believe)

Also, Sears has their 12" for $9.99 before 11am on Friday (regularly 19.99)

One thing about it...the Irwin quick grip clamps are better made than those
cheap plastic p.o.c.'s from harbor freight. I busted two of mine by squeezing
the trigger on them too hard. eezlock

The Irwins come with a lifetime replacement, which is always nice. I have heard mixed review of them, but I'm going to pick up 3 @ home depot tomorrow....before the rebate ends (send one to my office, home and parents house )

Agree. Got a dozen of the HF's for a BD gift last year, now down to eight, only by cannibalizing parts from the broken ones to make the others last a little longer. Snapped two jaws, and the mechanism went through the side of the others. With any luck, they'll last until spring when my next pay raise hits.

I think with the Irwin Quick Grip (TM) one-handed clamps, the Irwin ones are the way to go, the other copies all are lacking quality. The Irwin ones at $5 apiece on sale are a pretty good buy, they're my go-to clamps when I'm looking to clamp something quickly.
