The clamp is tough and you can lubricate the bar so that it slides a bit easier and the brake will not slip. Lubrication of the bar isn't necessary, but it helps the new clamp slide a bit easier. I used them in tandem whereby I was able to combine two clamps so that I could clamp to one side of a frame and use the other bar to act as a spreader, freeing up a hand. I bough four of these and then later bought four more and I love these clamps. They now have a pair of accessories that allow one to get into a space as narrow as 1/4" which can be handy if your installing a deck and some of your material is warped. another is an adapter for clamping round materials together. I'd recommend them to anyone. I have used this product and I really like it. The clamp is tough and you can lubricate the bar so that it slides a bit easier and the brake will not slip.

Can't say I'd pay extra for these because they'll also be heavier, bigger, and clumsier.

It would need to meet their price point and compete with the likes of Rubbermaid-Newell who supplies the Quick-Grip/Irwin clamps to HD and Lowes @prototyper1 Says:

Lets hope they can get this into all the big box stores. There is nothing like holding and trying a tool before you buy. This looks to be a great product.
