I’ve had a half dozen of these really little clamps and I seem to need them a lot. But they don’t clamp very well anymore.

rockler is running a deal.

i can’t tell if these are little enough. I can’t find an image that shows scale. Anybody have these?

You can see the scale about one minute into this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fo_mQd531rc
It looks to be about the same size as the Irwin Quick Grip mini clamp.

Rockler's web site says they have a maximum opening of 6" and a 2-1/2" throat depth. What size do you need?

I like the Irwin’s for the size and light weight.
the video helped.

WOW!!!!!!!
That's a special price. Lowes sells a pair of the 12" for $24. Same brand.
