I picked up this four pack of Jorgensen "F" clamps -- two six inchers and two twelves -- to add a few more to the clamp collection. I have been using this same tried-and-true design for decades in my shop, because they are simple, durable, and strong enough for reasonable use.
The grippy rubber handles on the new ones are MUCH better than my old ones (which were smaller diameter and wood). The threads are nicely cut, and work smoothly with a bit of oil. The pads are easily removed (optimist) or tend to fall off (pessimist), but a dab of silicone has kept my old ones in place for a long time.
The pic shows how close these are to the original design. The new ones have teeth on BOTH edges of the bars -- not sure why. No rough spots on the castings, and the paint is very smooth.
It is great to see that Jorgensen kept the same quality over decades, and the price was fair enough. Hope the review is helpful, and I will answer any questions that I can. Thanks!
