I use the one handed ratchet clamps a lot. (you know the 12" ones that are always on for $1.99) They work well for me but I use only hot hide glue and it doesn’t require the clamping pressure that many glues do.
I also like their C clamps. The make good veneer press screws with (minor) modifications. :-)
