I have 4 12" clamps - the Quick-Grip brand.

As my right hand is recovering its strength (there's old thread on my stupidity) I need to get a couple more just to help hold/position things.

I am looking for 12" only. Any experience on which brand(s) have the best holding power?

(going to regret saying this, but...)

The Harbor Freight ones go on sale for $2/ea, sometimes. They're pretty decent - definitely worth $2.

I don't like much from Harbor Freight but clamps is one thing I will buy there. When it comes to spending money on clamps I will spend the big money on parallel clamps. Small quick grip clamps I purchase are either Irwin (When on sale at Lowes or HD (HD has a $24 set of these clamps that is good value)) or I buy the HF ones. I have several of their quick grip style and several of their bar clamps. Very good for the price.
