Popularity0.5/5
161 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other hand tools and workshop hand tools we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
At $16.10 and just 4.8 ounces, the Excel 55664-2 is the lightest clamp in this group by a wide margin. That low weight points to a compact, light-duty tool rather than a heavy-pressure workshop clamp.
Its 4.2-star rating across 161 reviews is the lowest average in this comparison, and the data shows no recorded monthly buyers, so demand appears limited. No jaw capacity or material is listed beyond the 4.8-ounce weight, which reinforces that this is a smaller-scale clamp.
For light tasks such as craft assembly, small repairs or holding trim while glue sets, the price and low weight make it approachable. Anyone needing serious clamping force should look at the heavier options in this group. ToolHandle is an Amazon Associate and earns from qualifying purchases, which does not influence this ranking.

Performance notes
The Excel 55664-2 lists a 4.8-ounce weight and nothing else, no jaw capacity, length or material. That featherweight figure indicates a small, light-duty clamp rather than a high-force tool, so it is best matched to thin stock and gentle pressure. The 4.2-star average over 161 reviews is the softest in this comparison, suggesting performance that meets basic needs but does not impress under heavier demands.
What buyers say
Owner feedback is mixed-to-positive at 4.2 stars across 161 reviews, the lowest rating in this group. With no monthly buyers recorded in the data, the clamp sees limited ongoing demand. The light 4.8-ounce build likely satisfies craft and light-repair users while disappointing those expecting stronger clamping force.
How much clamping force does the Excel 55664-2 provide?
Clamping force is not specified in the available data. At just 4.8 ounces it is clearly a light-duty clamp, so it is best suited to small workpieces rather than high-pressure glue-ups.
Why does the Excel 55664-2 rate lower than other clamps here?
Its 4.2-star average from 161 reviews is the lowest in this group. The light build and limited specs suggest it suits light tasks, which may explain the softer rating versus heavier clamps.
