Jorgensen ISD bar clamp?

[Tamarack]

Saw these on Amazon.com, they say they are excellent. Does anyone here have any experience with these? I like my Quick-grips, but if these are better I want to know before I buy some more.

I recently reviewed the Jorgensen ISD clamps and was very impressed with how they work and how they are made. Jorgensen gets less respect than they deserve in the clamping world. We just finished reviewing their Cabinet Master clamps that are every bit as good as the "red ones" but are made in the USA and priced at least competitively.

Good review, Tom.

The one-handed clamps are clearly aimed at a market segment that has rightly been dominated by the Quick Grip clamps from Irwin. I really like those.

So how do the orange one-hand clamps stack up against the black and blue and yellow one-hand clamps?

Same, better, worse?

I like the Jorgensen better though I have both brands in the shop. The Jorgensen feel easier to use, the release is certainly better and for some reason I am not exactly sure of, the Jorgensen seem to deflect less when tightened down a bunch though that is not a common situation for this style of clamp.

Craftsman micro torque wrench $26 off. Now $48. 9/16 to 9/18

I would consider something else.
These do not have lifetime warranty, Husky@HD,and HF ones do. I have both and the Husky is better in 1/2" drive size due to 250
