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 $8.99 this is the lowest-priced clamp in the group, and it keeps moving: 241 reviews at a 4.0-star average with a recorded 100 buyers in the last month. As a no-frills, low-cost option, it clearly finds buyers.

The downside is the data. The listing carries no specs at all, no weight, dimensions, material, or jaw capacity, and the model field is a meaningless string of characters. The 4.0-star average is also the lowest tier in this set, so it is a budget clamp in both price and polish.

Performance notes
