It's about time someone came out with a clamp as useful as this one. Now I can reach those awkward places without cutting a piece of wood to use as a push block. I can't wait to get 10 more!!! Awesome product, I highly recommend it to anyone who uses tools. (and it's Made in America!!! hard to find that kind of quality in today's market!!!)

Being in the custom construction and remodeling business, I am always on the look out for new tools that can make my life easier. Well this is the one, I just received these clamps this morning and they have already paid for themselves with time saved on the job. I have already ordered more, and recommend that everyone, professional or hobbyist purchase these clamps.

This review is from: Alpha Clamp 1-AC12 12-inch Bar Clamp with 2 Steel Bars (Tools & Home Improvement)

I got a couple of these burly beasts the other day to do some cabinet installations. I reversed one of the clamps into the spreader position to hold the cabinet in place, then used the other clamp normally to clamp the face frames together. It sure made the solo install easier. Three or four would have been ideal. Maybe next time. Just don't drop one on your toe, these things weigh a ton! Another thing that I liked was that the pads don't slip off of the jaws like the ones on the Quickgrips do. The instructions show all sorts of different configurations and both bars are easily reversable, just pull the trigger and set 'em up however you want.
