Irwin Quick-Grip 12" One-Handed Mini Bar Clamps, 2pk Light-Duty

I had to drill out a door for a lock set in a 3 foot wide pantry. I used the Quick-Grip MINI bar clamps to hold the pre-drilled 1 x 6 templates I had made for the job. In the narrow space I was working in and being able to use only one hand to operate the clamps while I adjusted the templates, these clamps were perfect. The boots and the clamping force never let the templates move once I put full force on the pistol grips.

I have to support the review comment of Brian K. Early in the week I sought new rubber 'boots' for my Quick Grip clamps from a major retailer. They phoned IRWIN TOOLS to place a special order on my behalf as the boots were not held in stock. The Irwin Sales Consultant asked to speak to the customer (me) and he took my name and address and told me that the 'boots' would be sent directly to me, without charge. They arrived today - before the week is out - by standard post. How good is that for service. Irwin have won my vote despite the slight misunderstanding in that replacement 'boots' for my 100mm (4") Micro Bar Clamps were not included. Service and support like that deserves to be recognised.
