Hello all, well after a few projects I find I am pretty happy with the bar and F style clamps. However, the quick grip HF style clamps (I only bought 2) have proven to be pretty useless for anything other than hold a plastic tarp on my work bench while I was doing some staining. While they didn’t break, they don’t hold with very much force and slip frequently. I’ll continue to buy more bar and F style clamps at HF, but will. Steer clear of the quick grip style. Thanks for input and comments.
