Just bought two more Super Clamps through Amazon

It is a super Super Clamp (sorry for my poor attempt at humor).  I just purchased two through Amazon.  These are my 4th and 5th Super Clamps, not because my older ones broke, because they still work perfectly, but because they are so handy to have on a shoot or in the studio.  I recommend Manfrotto Super Clamps.  Honestly, I haven't tried the cheaper versions by other manufacturers of these types of clamps so I can't speak to how good or not the alternative brands are.  I figure why change when I have am completely satisfied with a product.  Being complete satisfied with a product seems to happen so infrequently I am not going to change.

I picked this up yesterday and used it on my 55" and 118" rails to break down a 4' x 8' sheet.

I LOVE it.  I own both the standard screw clamps and the rapid clamps.  What is great about this clamp is that you don't need all the clearance under the material that the other clamps require.  It is truly "rapid" - much faster to position and clamp the rail using this clamp.  It is very fast and easy to transfer this clamp between different rails.

It did require a little initial adjustment to get the level pressure right, but that takes about five minutes.

And for those of us who love Festool but complain about the price - You only have to buy one of these...

I bought two sets of these 12" bar clamps specifically to use with cauls during complex glue ups that need to be dead flat and square. Unfortunately, the package arrived on time, but only had 11 clamps in it.

I contacted the seller (EDM) through Amazon, received a reply within 15 minutes with a promise to mail a single clamp the same day, and received the clamp 3 days later (today!). The seller was exceptional - mistakes are human, but the way mistakes are fixed is the mark of great customer service, which EDM has proven they have. Thank you!

The clamps themselves are exactly as billed - 12 inch, perfectly functional f-style bar clamps and have worked exactly as I need them to with the clamping cauls.

this was perfect. I sandwiched the  Proxxon 28608 Precision Vise FMZ with Clamp ... with
Adafruit Super Fancy Third Hand Kit from Hobby.

I'm super impressed with this little clamp.  Others in this price range were partially plastic so I'm afraid to overtighten, but this clamp is all metal and for a great price.  Love it

Abosolutely the best clamps, but Amazon's packaging stinks.  Ordered two pair and all four clamps arrived damaged.  These are too heavy to be shipped in the manufacturer's box alone.  Boxes are decimated when they arrive and the plastic parts of the clamps are mostly broken.  I ordered replacements and asked that they be shipped with additional outer boxing to protect the manufacturer's boxes.  Amazon didn't listen and sent the second two pairs the same way as the first two.  Fortunately, I had enough unbroken parts to make two pair of good clamps.  Sent the broken parts back to Amazon.  It is clear form reviews that others have had the same problems.  I don't think Amazon pays any attention to packaging feedback and I am wasting my time.  Too bad, Amazon.  You have a good resource in us customers who take the time to give you feedback and you are squandering your opportunity to do things better.

First of all, let me say that I purchased this clamp for my new Dewalt DW715 type 3 miter saw, because this essential item is not included with the saw. Dewalt/Black & Decker has a newer design of this clamp also available, but the price difference is too much for my needs (this one is approx. $20 on Amazon vs. approx. $60-70 for the new design). The main difference between the new and older design is that the new design has a nifty quick-release adjustment on the threaded clamp-rod (the part you need to adjust against the board you want to cut) that allows you to raise and lower it quickly to the work-piece, but I didn't feel that this feature justified the substantial cost difference (professional users may feel differently).

This is a substantially-built clamp with a precision feel. Although it was listed as a Black & Decker item, mine has the Dewalt name cast into the horizontal arm. It fits the DW715 perfectly, and is also listed to fit the DW718 / DWS780 / DW717 models as well. The vertical smooth rod shown in the pictures fits into a hole behind the fence in the saw (there are two, one behind the right fence and one behind the left, so you can use two of these clamps if needed), and you install the clamp by rotating this rod until the clamp drops into and seats in the opening, and then rotate it forward again into its working position to lock it in place (it still can be rotated to the left or right as needed for the adjustment). The cast horizontal arm is keyed onto the vertical support rod, with a limited up/down movement of 2.5 inches for gross height adjustment (although with the extended-height fence in use on the DW715, there is no gross adjustment available since the horizontal arm must be kept at the highest position), and can be locked at the desired height by the black-plastic knob/metal threaded screw. Final adjustment to clamp the work-piece is made by the threaded vertical rod, which has a removable rubber (most likely vinyl) cover on the bottom clamp part to protect the work-piece. This clamp works just fine for my needs.

Here are the actual measured dimensions of the clamp: Diameter of the smooth vertical support rod is 11/16 inches (0.7"), total height of this rod is 7-3/4 inches, maximum working distance between work surface of the saw and the bottom of the horizontal arm is 5 inches when installed (4-3/8 inches to the rubber-covered clamp part that swivels), horizontal distance between the support rod and the threaded rod is 3-5/8 inches, and working length of threaded rod is about 5-1/4 inches.

I'm a little surprised by Amazon's prices for these clamps. I've been buying the 24" version from "the big orange store" for about $6.50 less per clamp! The build quality is truly "heavy duty". I haven't noticed any surface damage from the nice thick pads. You cant beat $14 ea for these, highly recommended.

Update: Upon writing this review. I found on amazon replacement cables and ordered them as I wasn't sure how to contact rugged geek. The next day I came home to a package I was like cool its here. Then the next day another package. Rugged geek shipped out a free set of clamps for me. So kudos to them that was extremely fast no questions asked. Now i have two sets. Thanks RuggedGeek

Awesome tool to have. Have had and used it for a few months now. Has worked extremely well until the positive clamp broke. About one week into owning it the positive clamp popped apart but it simply popped back together. This time the side of the clamp broke up rendering it pretty much useless. Ill be in contact to see if i can get a replacement.

Great price for a great clamp. I love the auto adjusting mechanism to the thickness being clamped, and you can fine-tune the amount of pressure with a -+ finger screw just above the grip.

I broke the clamp for this swing arm lamp in the '80s.  THE '80S!  I tried five times to move and evade it, but somehow it keeps following me.  I've tried to find a replacement clamp at every garage sale, every flea market, everywhere pieces of things are sold without their other pieces, hoping to appease the stalker lamp and help it find resolution in its ultimate purpose.  But all I ever find is more lamps without clamps.  It has been in my current basement since 1997.  Then suddenly, we need a basking lamp for a lizard cage because the one I have is melting the tank lid.  So I check on Amazon -- BINGO on the clamp at the aptly named Hope Hill Products.  I order it Thursday night, get it Saturday morning and find two different clamps in the box.  The first one is too small, but the next one is just right -- just perfect.  10 minutes into receiving my package, the lamp is set up for the first time in almost 30 years and serving it's ultimate purpose -- providing nutritional light to a captive creature, removing a fire hazard from our home, and providing an opening in my basement to store the next something seeking it's other pieces.  Thank you, Hope Hill.

I have 2 of these mini clamps. However ,mine are not by this manufacture but by Samona ,but I can't find them here. I really like mine ,they look exactly like the one shown,except for the jaws and the push button being yellow instead of orange. Mine is obviously a knockoff and imported .It does not state where made on the clamp or the tag on it; probably China. They were less than half in price as any others shown. I read several of the reviews that gave 1*  or 2* and was surprized how many easily broke. I have used mine many times and with no problems. These are great clamps,particularly for small clamping tasks;but possibly some people ask too much of them. They are not anywhere large enough for large jobs. However,several people mention they broke when opening the package,which I find unbelievable.
 All I can say is they are great for smasll  jobs ,so don't be discouraged from buying them.

Not only do they adjust to grab on to stuff, they also adjust how how wide they can open.  Both adjustments operate smooth and are similar in nature, one needs to press down to release the lock.

They holding power is good.  Once I have something clamped down I cannot move it.

The clamps are pretty substantial, they weigh 8.5 oz each. In attached video I show them on 1/2" grid for size reference.

I received these clamps at a special discount for evaluation and review as part of the new product introduction.  Getting an evaluation product does not bias me, I leave critical reviews for every product that deserves it.  However, these clamps are working well and I would buy them again.

I was impressed with these. For me they were hard to find locally at HD or Lowes. I found a lot of 6 or 7 inch clamps but never 8. I read about some 8" duct clamps maxing out at 8". Not these. You get Plenty of room to fit well over the ducting before tightening. I recComend these be on PRIME as a lot of ppl could find these useful. They tighten very well

This is so superior to my choices at the big box stores its amazing.  Basically at Home Depot they had the cheap crap with a single set screw.  I read the reviews on this and it is true, its the clamp that makes the different.  It is quick, easy and it works great!  So, big box store is 0 for 2 and Amazon is 1 for 1.  I still have to bring back the second one to the big box store.  No wonder retail  brick and mortars are struggling!  With Amazon we are able to help each other out which is one reason I am leaving this review!
