Irwin Quick-Grip 6 in. x 1-3/16 in. D Clamp and Spreader 2 pk

These are excellent clamps.

works great they do what the there supposed to

Handy to have around the house.

Works great. Reliable and sturdy.

Very handy implement, but, alas, NOT water proof--and once it rusts, you have to throw it out. In a DRY situation, it does the job quickly, easily, and reliably!

Definitely micro clamps! They are perfect for my upcoming projects. They are a bit stiff the first couple of times you try to use them, but then are fine.

I feel like I was over charged for these. But Irwin makes a great product.

Have had 4 piece set of the 53006 for several years now and have built large plastic models and a couple wooden model ship's. At the present time I am in the building the King of the Mississippi a wooden paddle wheel steamer have also two three master tall ships this clamps have NEVER let my down until now. I will be ordering more soon. The reason is simple they simply wore out from all the use.

Not much clamping pressure. Not suitable for gluing items like wood together.

So to be clear there are at least two version of these clamps by Irwin. They are both light duty and effectively the same size though one is labeled at 4 1/4" and the other as 6". It is important to understand the differences as the perform very differently. The 6" (Irwin Number 530062) has yellow pads, a thinner bar, a slotted handle, and the Irwin stick is on a black plastic "cover" piece of the trigger housing. The 4 1/4" (Irwin Number 1964747) has black pads, a thicker bar, a solid hand, and Irwin sticker in on the blue molded trigger housing. While both are labeled as light duty, I would contend that the 6" (530062) version is not even that. I found that as soon as the clamp made contact the trigger would slip with no where near 35 lbs of pressure (8 different clamps same results) I also found that when try to clamp with these units the black trigger housing would move substantially as the bar would slip. I have no confidence in these clamps holding anything in place beyond the very lightest of jobs. The 4 1/4" (1964747) version however is a very good light duty clamp that I gave me confidence that the parts would hold together during work. I used them for holding some corner molding in while I glued and nailed them into place. The labeled 6" version got returned immediately, but the labeled 4 1/4" version are staying in my toolbox. Just make sure you are getting the 4 1/4" (Irwin Number 1964747) version.
