 Defintely worth it! July 20, 2008

You get a lot of bang for your buck with this set. I bought it for my husband for Father's Day. He loves them! His attitude is that you cannot ever have enough clamps in a workshop. My husband especially loved the different sizes which definitely help him with his different projects. His only disappointment with the set was that it was not the lathe or the saw that he asked for Father's Day!

I'm just buying things and slowly building a nice inventory of tools for a recent old home purchase where there are a number of DIY renovations to be had. I picked theses up from Amazon based on the reviews, and of course the price. I didn't look at the picture very closely to catch that a bit more than half of this set is clips and not clamps. I can't complain at all about the product being a total novice. I'm sure if you are a seasoned woodworker, you'll find something wrong with these, but then again, you probably aren't looking for clamps in this price range anyway.
I will add that my local Woodcraft had these for $14.99, a much better deal than Amazon's $25.xx. I picked up another couple boxes so I now feel comfortable in the number of clamps that I have.
Great Deal for the Price!!! May 23, 2008

This is a great deal for anyone on a limited budget or newly into woodworking. These are not high-end clamps, but they also don't have a high-end price tag. I was skeptical, but upon arrival I was pleasantly surprise at the quality. They seem very functional. I've been told you can't have too many clamps when woodworking.

I went into the purchase of this set with strong reservations -- That's a lot of clamp for the price! I figured they'd be kinda crummy, but I could use them for unimportant projects if they were really terrible... They showed up and are actually pretty good!
Just 2 of the slip clutch bar clamps are alone worth the price of this set, but you get 8 bar clamps! The bar clamps are all metal except for the adjustment handle, which is plastic. To be totally honest, I prefer the wooden Jorgensen handles, but for the price, these are fine - the plastic handles don't seem to affect the usability at all. Oh, and each of the slip clutch clamps have removable plastic covers on either side of the clamp -- they didn't have to do that, but a nice touch.
The spring clamps are plastic, but seem to be strong - they also have pivoting grip heads, which surprised me.
I want to give them 5 stars, but I can't, as jorgensen clamps are better (wooden handles), but 4 stars is good! I'm buying a few more sets!
Good Set March 11, 2008

This is a good set of clamps at a fantasic price. I agree with the other reviewer who stated that some of the spring clamps could be swapped out with another bar clamp or two. But considering the cost and all you get, it's worth it -- I bought 3 sets.
I found that it isn't that easy to release the slip clutch clamps when used as a "quick release" but once the tension is off the clamp, they work just fine. The only reason I don't think they work so well is because the release is small, not leaving much room for your finger(s).
All in all, this is a good set of clamps. I would recommend this product to anybody, especially those just starting out in woodworking like I am. Clamps are one of the biggest expenses in a shop as you "can never have too many clamps." You'll still need to get other types of clamps though, including your pipe clamps, parallel clamps etc.
