I think i used them once to hold some small porcelain thingy of the wifes that the cat knocked over. The only bitch I have about the whole line of these clamps is that I always lose the rubber pads. I keep thinking Im going to glue them on someday! I bough them cuz they’re cute and figured the need would arise.

Lowes and sometimes HD carry the 2 + 2 bonus clamp packs for the same price. In other words, 4 x 6" clamps (non-spreading) for $20 is the typical retail price.

Look for the "Deal or No Deal" link on their website. Rockler has a special right now for 4 of these for $20. Look for the “Deal or No Deal” link on their website.

Actually, I got it because it was cute but I have actually used to clamp together some small glue-up's and it was really a surprise that this is really a tool, not a toy.

I have some of the larger ones and made the mistake of using one to hold a .357 cartridge case I was drilling the primer out of. I had to peel a thin film of redistributed rubber off the searing hot case, as it turns out it only held it tightly enough to ensure a good amount of friction, not tightly enough to stop it spinning around :) Yes I know, I need a decent vice.

Six inches was just the right size, and the larger clamps/spreaders wouldn't fit. I didn't spend $12 for them, though. I found them at a garage sale.

Anyone have some real world workshop applications for something so small? Seriously, between the small clip style clamps and C-clamps, I wonder if these have any application beyond spreading.
