Did they tell you they were sending you the clamps? Or did you email and they just arrived?
Thanks,
Todd
Looks like I'll have to come up with a project to test them out.
So it sounds as if the boxes arrived yesterday which is great. Todd makes a good point. If you have some immediate impressions and want to share them with me by all means shoot me an email and let me know what you think. I would however like to keep the discussion or comparisson on this thread to a minimum until after I we talk with each of you. Once that's done (in a few weeks) I'd be really interested to see how the group responds in discussion here. I can even compose a compilation of the "first impressions" I get from you all and post them.
In the meantime, if you have had gripes or praise about quick clamps or clamps in general (irwin or otherwise) by all means bring them up and let's discuss. I can even start by saying that no matter what I do when I'm clamping something up the bars always seem to get in the way. I guess it's just the nature of the beast. Maybe that's why I reach for handscrew clamps or a vise whenever I can get away with it.
