I am one of the designers at IRWIN Tools here in Charlotte. We're working on improving our QuickGrip clamps, and the first part of any projects like this one is to get feedback from our users on what's currently on the market. We are looking for a handful of woodworkers within a few hours drive of Charlotte who would be willing to test some clamps for us for a few weeks.
You'd recieve some samples of competative clamps and a few of our own for you to use in your shop at your convenience. After a few weeks we'd like to come talk to you about what you liked and disliked about them all. The clamps would be yours to keep.
If you're interested in participating over the next few weeks, want a little more information, or know some people who might be interested, please let me know.

The response to this posting has been extremely helpful! To all of you I've had the opportunity to email back, thank you so much for your willingness to help. We've received much more interest than we were originally planning for, but we've made some changes to how we're running the test to accommodate more people. To those of you who I haven't gotten back to personally, we've got all the people we need for this round. We are continuously running field testing programs like this one with any number of product lines. I will certainly post those opportunities in this forum, so keep your eyes open for next time!
Thanks again for the continued outpouring of help. I'm excited to be a new member of this community and will definitely lurk and contribute when I have an opinion to share.
