“I've purchased two of these clamps and they are as advertised. If the person who wrote the one star review had read the product description, they would have seen that the jaw opening is 44". No surprise there. The aluminum bars are made of aluminum tubing (rectangular) with wall thickness adequate for a medium duty clamp. If I ever need to 'beef up' the clamp, I could insert a wood board into the interior of the clamp (See Paul Sellers YouTube on using bar clamps on a workbench). I'm using the bar clamps instead of my old pipe clamps because (a) they are lighter (b) the surface of the bars make is easier to clamp up the desk I'm building and (c) cheaper then parallel clamps that I just don't want to invest in just yet. So, these bar clamps are much like pipe clamps without the weight and with a square top surface for glue ups. If you have pipe clamps and don't care about the weight, then these will just be the same only with the addition of the lighter aluminum. I would buy them again ... except the stores near me are out.”

“Awful! I bought 6 of these and two of them have broke over the course of 6 months. The metal brackets just snap! Spend the money for quality by purchasing a quality brand”
