Strong Hand Locking C-Clamp w/Swivel Pads PR115S

I am a student in a Trade school with a welding program. I welded in my high school and I often small items for my job in my dads friends construction business. This clamp seems great so far. I've had it for a little over a month now, but I've only used it a handful of times this summer. I like the swivel heads because it gives you just that little extra surface area for the clamp to stay locked in place. The rubber release handle is a nice touch but it doesn't make the tool better or worse. The large hole in the adjustment screw is great because tightening small screws by hand when wearing some gauntlet style stick gloves can be tricky, and I always have a screwdriver handy so I just pop that in, adjust it, and get right back to work. The only thing is it doesn't seem to lock in place quite as good as my dads Irwins do. It will still hold just about anything but it juist doesnt seem as heavy duty. But like I said we'll see as time goes on
