I’ve got two young kids who are ALWAYS breaking things. Half of my house is either broken, or sitting under my workbench waiting to get glued back together. When the breakages got complicated (like wooden train tracks, or boxes), I realised I needed to try and keep the halves together to glue them.That’s when I went to B&Q and bought some of their little G-Clamps. It was awesome.. I clamped around a piece of wood, squeezed tight, and PYOING! off flew the head, embedding itself into a soft toy that I’d almost finished sewing back together after Kid #2 had decided it needed more holes.So I tried the next G-Clamp, only to realise I’d bought one with the little rubber foot missing, and without it, the clamp was useless. The third G-clamp was better, but it died after a few weeks when the hex nut holding it together fell out and I lost it.. :-/So, I went on Amazon and found these instead. Externally similar to the cheapo ones at B&Q these are actually FAR more sturdy. The central bar which runs through the clamp is relatively thick and strong, I can’t bend it. The clamp jaws are also strong, and although they’re plastic, you can see they’re reinforced by buttresses and I-beam like reinforcements to stop them snapping.The trigger and release mechanism works MUCH better than the cheaper ones, making it really easy to clamp and unclamp complex shapes one-handed while you’re working.The fact you get TWO clamps was a lovely surprise. I didn’t think you could get two clamps this cheap, and (being a doofus) I ordered two packs, and was surprised to recieve 4 clamps in total). Well, I’m glad I got 4 clamps, since having that many has allowed me to repair many cardboard / wood / metal projects.The only gripe I have is that the blue ‘socks’ on the jaws to give them some cushion can slip off if you’re gripping something with an odd shape, but that happens very rarely.Great grips, great for fixing things. pleasantly surprised.These are pretty darn good.

I like them because they are light and perfect for model making

These are brilliant clamps – for their intended purpose. Some people complain they are tiny, yet all the the measurement are clearly stated in the advert. Others claim they are weak with little grip, well what do they expect of a clamp advertised as ‘Suitable for light-duty jobs’ and ‘Ideal for crafts and smaller projects’. These clamps are intended for model making and for this purpose they are excellent and very good value. I have several pairs and wouldn’t be without them. I do honestly wonder whether some people bother to properly read the details of a product or to consider what they expect it to accomplish before they buy it.

Ideal small clamps for what I need very strong and steady. I do a lot of model building so need theses as they are small but hold firm..

I really rate these sturdy little clamps! I will be ordering more without doubt. I recently bought another style of clamp in my local d.i.y. store for a much higher price and was very disappointed.., not a patch on these I would choose them over the more expensive ones any day! I would say they could possibly be a little thicker on the metal but they do the job so i can’t complain. Would order again, possibly a bigger size. Good. I like em.Arrived promptly and well packaged

Read the reviews about these clamps. I bought two of them to use for model making. If you read the reviews carefully you will find that it’s what their intended use are for. Yes they are small and light which makes them ideal for making model kits. I will be ordering more of them. So I will have plenty of the right size to use.

I bought these for a specific project where I needed to clamp a small strip of wood in position. These little clamps were perfect for the job. They are small and lightweight but maybe not so suitable for heavy metalwork.

I use these for model making and small woodwork projects. They are perfect for holding things together while glue sets and can generate finger crushing force. They can be used for low vibration clamping like drilling and small hacksaw work, but any larger job and you should be looking for different claps. I like mine so much i purchased the 150mm claps a few weeks later.

Small clamp, (check size) but very good for intricate work.
