Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Irwin Quick-Grip 2-Inch C-Clamp has a long handle to prevent skinned knuckles while making it easier to apply torque. The double-threaded screw thread also cuts down on the time needed to apply pressure, and reduces drift due to screw deflection. The large swivel pad protects against damage to work surfaces and improves stability. Irwin backs its clamp with a lifetime warranty.

Product Description

Improved screw thread tightens in half the time. Larger handle for easier tightening. Clamp Type: Screw Thread, Pieces (qty.): 1, Tool Length (in.): 2

4.0 out of 5 stars I am very pleased with these!, August 18, 2004

These clamps are very sturdy, easy to clamp down hard, the threads turn smoothly, and as far as I can tell they are pretty rust resistent. I purchased 10 of these to use for wide panel glue-ups, where I place a clamp at each glue joint (sometimes with and sometimes without a straight edge to clamp against). I find that this helps me to align the boards perfectly while the glue is still wet and thus I have a lot less sanding to do later. The threads on these clamps are fine enough that I can really ease up to the maximum pressure I am going for without clamping with too much force. In the rare instances when I have really wanted to apply some torque with these, the handles have not flexed or bent at all (which is a problem with some of the cheaper c-clamps I have used).

If you have a need for some small c-clamps, I highly recommend these!

These clamps from Irwin were much more than I expected. I mean these 4" clamps seem much larger than a little 4" clamp I thought I'd receive. You just can't beat the price or the quality. I do a lot of welding and wanted to add additional clamps to my collection. Being happy with Irwin products in the past, I went with these. I ordered 3", 4" and 6" and these are very well made. I have tightened them down to the point others would have broke and these clamps held fast with no bending, cracking or breaking. I rate these clamps a true 5 stars.

This review is from: Irwin Quick-Grip C-Clamp - 2in. (Misc.)

My main application for the clamps is quick set up for threading my weaving loom. I use two quick-grip hand-clamps and two C clamps.

C-clamps have a very strong hold. Once they are ratcheted I cannot move the item the hold at all.
The handi-clamps have a decent hold however they the hold is not as strong as the C-clamps that you need to ratchet. It is important for me that the clamps don't move in case I accidentally bump into them and they do not. However if I want to I can move them slightly without releasing the clamp. The quick-grip hand-clamp clamps are very easy and fast to set up (and remove), all you need to do is compress the handle.

I am attaching a photo of my weaving set up: handi-clamps clamps hold the metal bracket to the table, while the smaller C clamps attach the rigid heddle to a think wooden stick, which is in turn clamped to the metal bracket. This set up allows me to reach the heddle from both side for threading. This home-made set up cost well below $20, if I were to buy a commercially made system it would be measured in hundreds.

The clamps are easy to set up and remove, easy to pack up for storage when not in use, and I am extremely pleased with the clamps. I have been using them for approximately 9 months at least once a week, the springs still work as well as they day I bought them.
