IRWIN QUICK-GRIP Bar Clamps for Woodworking, One-Handed, Micro, 4-1/4", 2 Pack (1964747)

Great clamp, arrived fast

Good clamps

Reading is fundamental. lol I didn’t realize the size when I ordered so at first sight I wasn’t happy. But I kept it and I’m glad I did. Comes in handy. Holds tightly and has many uses. Worth every penny

Very handy to have, can never have enough. Easy to use and easy to store when finished.

They are a set of clamps But they are very small for very small projects ….

Fantastic for small workbench projects. They are great for holding together parts whilst glue dries.

I wanted to find the best quality clamps of this style on the market and had very high hopes for these, as I had read on a contractor's forum that the Irwin Quick-Grips are of superior quality & function in comparison to other plastic clamp/spreaders that have a similar appearance. To see for sure, I ordered one of these, a Jorgensen 33804, and picked up locally both a Dewalt microclamp, & one from Harbor Freight. In comparison to all the others, this Irwin is a poor quality product. When clamping small items, the bar begins to deform with pressure & the jaws angle open from the item being clamped. I did not give the Harbor Freight clamp as much use(maybe just from a mental block of it being $0.99), but I know that I prefer it over the Irwin, as the Irwin, as you can see from the photos, has the thinnest bar, the only bar that bends under pressure at the rivet near the head, the only clamp whose pad lifts at an angle under full pressure, the shortest throat depth, & the second shortest jaw capacity. This makes me not even want to consider Irwin for the larger clamps, unfortunately. I found myself reaching for the Jorgensen & Dewalt clamps for most of the glue-ups of the small parts. The Jorgensen is definately the most robust of the 4, has the best ergonomics, and easily the largest pads. There is a lot more product for the money put into the Jorgensen clamp! The dewalt is also excellent in function, as it clamps well, pads stay flat, has the largest throat depth, tied with the Jorgensen for max jaw capacity. I did not notice any functional difference due to the smaller pad surface area on a clamp this small. The Dewalt's are not as ergonomic as the Jorgensen clamp, but the smaller pads DO allow it to fit the 1-1/4" dog holes in my workbench, while the Jorgensen's are too bulky to fit through the holes. Again, I did not give the Harbor Freight clamps a fair run-through as I did with the other 3, other than just enough to know that I prefer them over the Irwin clamp. In summary, if you don't have any use for this size clamp with dog holes like mine, the Jorgensen is the best micro-clamp in this category on the market. If you do need to use them in 1-1/4" dog holes, then it's worth it to get the Dewalt(though they take more "fiddling with" than the ergonomic Jorgensen).

Great clamps

Of all the clamps in the market, I would put my money on Irwin. The quality of the product is great. The item is very useful and can hold heavy items in place.

cuidado, se forçar muito ele abre o corpo de plástico, estava acostumado a trabalhar com sargento.

This is a handy little quick clamp. I purchased this for a specific task and it works well. It's so much more convenient that a c-clamp for small projects. I should have bought two.

Always good brand Irwin

De buena calidad. Pequeñas para lo que requería en el momento pero para manualidades de tamaño pequeño sirven bastante bien no las recomiendo si las quieres para carpintería. Para manualidades excelente. Son 15 cm de apertura. Y la presión que ejerce es suficiente para sostener con firmeza piezas de unos 3 o 4 kilos.
