Mike, I can't speak to the quality of these particular clamps, but... I'm sure many of you out there have had similar experiences, trying to save some dollars and make these construction projects affordable, we buy low grade tools and equipment only to later curse our mistake. Certainly there are bargains to be had, but the bitterness of poor quality lingers long after the sweet taste of low first cost has disappeared.
