Product Description

From the Manufacturer

This 12-piece clamp set will meet all your basic wordworking needs. The set includes two 2-inch C-clamps, two 4-inch C-clamps, two 1-inch spring clamps, two 2-inch spring clamps, two 18-inch slip-clutch bar clamps and two 24-inch slip-clutch bar clamps. The C-clamps are made from ductile iron frames and have a black oxide single Acme thread with an oscillating ball and socket tip and finished with a tough powder coated paint finish. Bar Clamps have a Slip-clutch for fast and easy adjustments anywhere on the bar. A wood handle allows for secure hold and easy gripping. The Slip-clutch bar clamps are zinc plated and have a serrated edge and have protective pads to prevent marring. The Spring Clamps are constructed from high-strength nylon material so they are lightweight, impact-resistant and free from rust. The handle design provides a comfortable grip and the clamps will hold work uniformly on the surface because of pivot tips.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lots o' clamps, January 6, 2006

I am not a professional carpenter / restorer / woodworker and I hate to spend a lot of money on something I only use occassionally. When I saw this set of clamps for $20, I was suspicious. That is about the amount I have paid for a single clamp in the past.

There are four of each kind of clamp:

2 tiny and 2 small scissor spring clamps. Not especially useful, but they are strong and have pivoting contact points.

2 small and 2 medium "C" clamps - these work great - easily manuverable, don't slip.

4 medium sliding bar clamps. These are 2 pairs of only slightly different lengths. They work fine, but are too short for many jobs.

Overall, a good deal, but of limited range. If most of the stuff you work on is fairly small, this might be acceptable, but if you are repair table legs or shelves, you will definately need to acquire longer clamps. If you want this set as extra clamps or just to have them around "in case," go for it. You can't beat the price.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good starter collection for the money, January 7, 2006

I recently purchased this clamp set, and for the money, you get a pretty good starter collection of clamps. Quality wise, I was fairly impressed. The metal clamps are powder coated and feel substantial. The plastic clamps have strong springs and very good gripping power. Each clamp has a protective shoe on it to prevent marring of wood projects and the bar clamps have a decent wood handle for tightening down. Overall, this set is quite a bargain and a good place to get your collection started from. If you are a professional woodworker or more than just a weekend warrior, you'll probably want to spend a bit more and get a good set of Bessey's.

4.0 out of 5 stars What a bargain..., December 21, 2005

On the theory that you can never have too many clamps, I recommend this package deal. The clamps are decent; the package/price < $20 that motivated my writing this is an excellent price point.

If you are fussy about all the details of your clamps, perhaps this deal is not for you. If you "USE" your clamps, it is a hard to beat deal.
