They work like they are supposed to. Hold tight, easy release and adjustment.

5.0 out of 5 stars These are great little clamps!

I bought 8 of these at one time and the only one that wasn't perfect is just a little stiff to release. There was no jaw misalignment among the bunch, nor was there any significant bend in the bars.

I have not really crunched down on them to see when they would bend or break; as applying a lot of force is not their purpose.

They look like quality items, and the fact that they are made in Taiwan rather than China is a positive point, in my book.

These clamps are extremely small and would be used for clamping hand sized
Items. The mechanism will fit in the palm of your hand. Not for holding down a 2x4. Good for small applications.

I'm sure the clamp works fine but they are TINY. There is no way they are worth full price.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst of the Micro-Clamps
Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2015
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).
