Irwin Industrial 36in Bar ClampClutch Lock

I bought these clamps about a month ago. I have not read any of the reviews if I did I would not have bought them. I am an avid wood worker hobbyist. I have bought various sizes and all have worked perfectly. Personally I like the ratchet grip because now it is so much easier to clamp up one handed. After reading the reviews I felt I should add my positive experience. I will only use these for light work which is why I bought them in the first place. For me these are meant to be a step up from vise grip clamps but not when I need the weight and strength of heavy duty parallel clamps. I will buy more in the future. while I strongly recommend for a woodworker I do not recommend them for a welder since weld splatter could easily damage the clutch action.
