Monster & Master 6" C-clamp Locking Plier without Swivel Pads, 3-Piece, MM-CP-004x3

*Update 1/29/21A waste of money for a metal framer, stick with Milwaukee. They may be suitable for a casual user but definitely not for a person who uses em every day.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Milwaukee 6" C Clamp is my go to but with these at 8.00 a clamp I figured I'd give em a shot. Worst case scenario, I will give em to a apprentice. Will be using for metal studs, interior walls, soffits, and ceilings. Picture showing it is a 6" clamp as prior reviewer was inaccurate and perhaps doesn't know that clamps are measured by length and not jaw size.They have a good snap and open easily but could use a little more finger room when opening with just thumb and middle finger. Jaw only opens 7/16ths of an inch when set tight enough to hold a 3 and 5 stud in place. There seems to be a lot of play in the pin where the jaw meets the release handle and will see if it becomes a problem in the future. My first instinct tells be it will be like a Tool Shop brand tool If you know what I mean.Pros: inexpensive, easily identifiable as most will have other brands.Cons: small jaw opening without loosening set screw, needs more finger room for releasing clamp, river pins have some play. Not Made in USA.Although not related to this product, it was packed well and was delivered in less than 24 hours and it was ordered on a Sunday with free shipping.

Clamps are great value for the money, but do not have the build quality of name-brand clamps.The upper jaw wiggles a little from side to side. It is possible the clamp does not come down in the center of the pad. IT DOES STILL WORK--this is only a criticism of the build quality.Adjustment slide, lock, and pressure all seem good. The steel might be cheap, but I haven't bent them with my use.I think these are a good choice for light/medium use. They are a fantastic value, especially for such deep-throated clamps (20cm/8in)

Just to clarify: these clamps are 6 inches long with jaws that can clamp 2 inch work pieces. For $27 you can get locking clamps that will hold together more than 2 inches of material at any big box store. Returned for a full refund.

These were very small. Might work well for sheet metal but nothing much bigger. The cushioned handles are about the only upside. Would not recommend as the points do not align well with one another.

Junk

No way is this a 6" clamp! More like 3".

As handy to use and adjust as standard vise grips. Relatively deep reach, and will handle most thicknesses up to 3 to 4 inches. Great specialty clamp addition to my tools.

Great locking pliers! Love the grip and use them often when clamping body panels together. The only thing I don't like about it is that they only open about an inch unlike vise grips that open 2-3 inches.
