IRWIN Q/G54122QC Mini Quick Grip Clamp 300mm, 1 Piece

I’ve been using the IRWIN QUICK-GRIP Light-Duty Mini (300mm) Trigger Clamp for a while now, and it’s quickly become one of my go to tools for small projects around the house. This clamp has proven its worth in a couple of key ways that make my work easier and more precise. First off, I’ve used it to lock things in place on my workbench, and it’s been great. Whether I’m holding down a piece of wood to saw or keeping something steady while I drill, the clamp grips tight and doesn’t budge. The one handed trigger mechanism is really smooth - squeeze it a few times, and it’s locked in, freeing up my other hand to make small adjustments. I’ve also relied on it for gluing projects, and it shines there too. Recently, I clamped some wooden pieces together for a small table build, and it held everything snug while the glue set. The packaging says it’s got a 63kg clamping force, but honestly, I’m not sure what that means in practical terms. Doesn’t matter to me, though, because whatever it’s rated for, it feels plenty strong for my needs. The build quality is great; it’s lightweight but doesn’t feel flimsy, and seems like it’ll hold up for the long haul. Overall, this IRWIN clamp is a high quality tool that just works. It’s simple, reliable, and versatile. Whether I’m locking stuff down or gluing things up, it gets the job done. If you’re after a solid clamp for light duty tasks, this one’s a winner. Definitely recommend it!

The IRWIN QUICK-GRIP Light-Duty Mini Trigger Clamp is hands down one of the best tools I’ve added to my kit. For its compact size, it delivers an impressive 63kg of clamping force, which is ideal for light-duty projects. I’ve used it for everything from small woodworking projects to holding materials steady for gluing, and it performs flawlessly every time. The trigger mechanism is smooth and incredibly easy to operate with one hand, which is a huge plus when you need a third hand. Its 300mm length is perfect for small to medium tasks, and it’s lightweight enough to carry around without any hassle. Plus, the grip pads protect my materials from damage, which is a big bonus. This clamp is reliable, easy to adjust, and surprisingly powerful for its size. I highly recommend it for anyone who needs a sturdy, dependable clamp for smaller projects!

These style of clamps gradually lose their grip but so far this brand has not shown even a tiny reduction. They continue to work as new after two years. Definitely a good clamp. They are lightweight, and marketed as that, so they can't reach the 5 stars I would give a heavier clamp, but for the intended purpose, and particularly at the price, they are excellent.

Love these clamps so good for DIY projects

These clamps will fulfill my need okay. They are lightweight clamps so okay for holding things whilst the glue drys, small homemade plywood cabinets for example. Also handy for clamping down small wood planks for drilling or sawing but, as an aid, as a second pair of hands. Remember the clamps are lightweight and realitively cheap so they have limits. The plastic grips are small and will break if too much pressure is applied. Don't try and hold a massive oak beam with them or use them as climbing aids, you will be disappointed... If you are a professional user you will need a more substantial pair of clamps but for the casual amateur user these clamps should work well enough, the hold tension okay as an aid and not a total solution, but that's okay for my needs.

I had a smaller version of these clamps and found it so useful that I purchased a further two. Clamp really securely with little effort and easy to release and adjust. I would highly recommend.

Have used Irwin clamps for years and have never broken or let me down unlike cheep copies from say Aldi. These were best price I could find at the time.

Irwin Clamps are like your third hand when doing woodworking or general DIY. If things want clamping or holding down these are my go to clamps, they are both versatile and strong with a good clamping range, and a super easy quick release lever. The Jaws are rubber so do not mark the material being held. They are light and easy to use and hold with great functionality.
