IRWIN QUICK-GRIP One-Handed Bar Clamp, Heavy-Duty, 24", 1964714

Great value for money and really easy to use the clamp. It has such good quality and utility and holds it. It’s a great functionality and gift.

Good quality easy to use

Picked up two of these clamps on Amazon, which offers the best price. The clamps arrived in a flimsy cardboard envelop, but thanks to the sturdy build quality, nothing was damaged. I have used it so far to clamp several wide boards to form both edge joint and face joint to form a thick table top. The deep full face pads proved to be very ideal for jointing. The pressure is extremely strong and very uniform. The jaws reaches deep, and really helps if you face joint wide boards. The quick racheting handle is comfortable to grab, and closes quickly and conveniently. And best of all, unlike the earlier versions, this clamp has a very thick and heavy steel I-beam. For the boards I jointed, 4 ft wide, there is no noticeable bow in the beam when fully clamped. And when clamped for overnight, I didn't notice any relaxation in the jaws. I also picked up 8 of the 24" versions. Together they provide everything I need to do edge and face jointing. So no more fumbling with c-clamps and cushioning pads. Just line up the boards and squeeze the handle. The pressure is just as strong. It is pricy, but well worth the money.

Heavy duty clamps, work well.

I'm a hardcore woodworker. I've used these heavy duty clamps for about 20 years. The only thing better than one of these clamps is several of them. With a little practice you can routinely reach for one of these clamps with one hand (while the other hand is holding a couple pieces of wood together), flip the clamp upside down, press the release trigger, and gravity will slam it shut. Then you can torque it as tight as you want with the big trigger. These clamps can squeeze as hard as a screw clamp, but they're 10 times faster and don't mar the wood. A friend of mine at work said he wouldn't buy these because the jaws are plastic. He is a fool who will never know what he's missing. These clamps are incredible tools. I recommend, and I'm certain you won't regret your purchase.

After a few uses I would say it is a good quality clamp. It is very strong and operates smoothly along the bar. The one downside was converting it from a clamp to a spreader. The push button did not release the end to just slide off. I had to use a hammer to pop off the end. I assumed I might be breaking it in the process. Good news is, I didn't break it, and it now works as a spreader, but the transition from clamp to spreader is not easy or without worry. After several transitions it became a little easier, but still requires a hammer tap.

I ended up with eight of these for a very involved roofing project. The 2x6x16 lumber used was from a big box store, poorly dried and warped horribly when left out while building the lean to roof. Used these to 'straighten' the rafters using both clamp and spreader configuations during sheathing installation, fix the rafter bird mouth cut to the 4x6 header while fastening with screws to maintain a tight joint. These work wetted by the rain as well as they do dry, although I did blow them down with compressed air after removal. These clamp TIGHT with little to no flex of the bar between the ends. Impressive quality!

I evaluated many similar products before settling on this more expensive name-brand clamp. I am very happy with the decision. This is solidly made, and works very well.

As expected , great clamps from Irwin , which by the way are massive . See in pic the difference in size compared to the medium duty clamp. 'One can never have enough clamps' is the saying ... So getting to the point slowly when I have a wall full of clamps and I could say that to somebody....
