Update for HD clamps - forgot something

Or, if you're like me, you have a "close relative" that works for Irwin and
you get all you want for "a good price"......

Irwin Quik Grips - bring 'em on!

That's why I get those spreader type clamps from Penn State Industries.
They beat Irwin's in price and quality!

You know, I own both brands as well as some Chinese knockoffs. In actual
use, size for size, I prefer the Jorgenson's. I think the spring loaded
release makes them much easier to set. All brands do the job. Maybe one of
these days, the Jorgenson clamps will crack and fall apart. Until that day,
I consider them all equal.

Now the Irwins are another story. They don't hold well and probably will
not last because of the material used and they are grossly overpriced.
