In my opinion as an avid DIY homeowner, this is a great clamp and a good value for the price. Anyone reading this review probably understands that you can never have too many tools. Clamps are one of those tools that I just never seem to have enough of. Sooner or later, I will be working on a project where I don't have enough clamps to do the job properly. This is not a heavy-duty clamp, but it is as solidly constructed as you would expect for this price. It will provide many years of service in my shop. The clamp performs exactly as it should - it slides easily, clamps easily with one hand, and provides sufficient clamping force for most of my DIY project needs. Often I do not need a heavy-duty clamp or even want one. This clamp is lightweight and easy to use, and it is a great addition to my tool collection. My primary concern before purchasing this product was that it might turn out to be flimsy garbage. Now that I have used it for several weeks, I can tell you that it is a solid product. If you are looking for an affordable, easy to use, light to medium-duty clamp to add to your collection, this Tekton clamp will fit the bill. UPDATE 1/29/15: I still stand by everything in my original review, however I have two additions to make. First, I noticed that the price on this clamp varies quite considerably, and my recommendation only applies if the price is < ~$15. Above that, this Tekton clamp quickly loses its value proposition. Second, for those who are looking for a more heavy-duty clamp, take a look at the Jorgensen HD line. They are built like tanks and priced VERY reasonably. Overall I consider them to be a much better value, however sometimes you actually want a lighter clamp or you want the quick "pump and release" clamp style vs. the slower screw style.

Other people have complained about this clamp... near as I could tell, they either didn't read the description, or the description has been updated. It was exactly what I was expecting... a bar clamp with a 6" opening and 1.5" depth. If you don't know how big that is, get out a ruler. You will not be building a tree house or a dining room table with this clamp. If you want to build bird houses or pen holders, it might be perfect. I got it to hold electrical contacts on to the end of cell phone and camera lithium ion batteries. I might get some use out of it for leather work. EDIT As mentioned above, I've mostly been using this clamp to hold wires onto oddly-shaped batteries for charging. With a good lithium-ion charger, I'm able to charge and test all sorts of proprietary batteries (cell phone, camera, etc.)... but only if I can get the leads to stay in contact with the terminals! What I'm saying is that it got pretty light use (don't want to crush Li-Ion batteries!). Well, something has happened over the 8 months since I bought it... a few weeks ago, I reversed the head to use it as a spreader (so I could apply pressure for 24hrs to a VHB adhesive installation in my car), and it wouldn't hold with a force of more than about 2-3lbs. I ended up taking it apart and examining it... for some reason, one of the internal bars was just plain slipping. I figured I was out of luck, and was getting ready to change my review when I noticed that a company representative was offering assistance to Amazon customers who had negative experiences. I used the posted email address, explained my trouble, and within a couple hours, a representative had already contacted me, and asked for a shipping address so they could send me a replacement. Mind you, this is 8 months since purchase... well past the return period. But they list a lifetime replacement guarantee, and they really lived up to it. The next day, I received tracking information for a FedEx shipment, and in another day or two, the replacement clamp showed up at my door. It's working perfectly, and the replacement didn't cost me a dime.

This worked well for my purposes, which was to spread the base of my new Aeromach motorcycle highway bar enough to mount it on my Indian motorcycle. The highway bar is basically 1.5" metal tube kind of shaped like an arrowhead or a spade. The base of bar has to be spread apart enough to land on the mounts near the floorboards so it can be bolted down at each end, which required that the base be spread apart almost 2" from its resting position. It was impossible to spread it enough by hand, even with a friend helping out. I found this tool on Amazon and it did the trick. I was briefly concerned that it would not work, as there is not a huge amount of torque available on the handle that drags the spreader across the bar, but with a firm effort on the last squeeze, it was enough - the bar was spread enough and slid easily over the mounts. There's little metal plugs on the ends of the bar that apparently are meant to serve as stoppers but serve no purpose but to get in your way - one of them fell out, and I knocked the other one out. Then remove and reverse the end clamp (the one without the handle) to turn it into a spreader, and off you go. Overall - good tool. Definitely multi-purpose. I'm satisfied. Only thing I'd criticize is the alleged pounds rating of the spreader vs the actual torque available on the handle, but any discount price tool pushed to alleged manufacturer specs will probably break in the end, so just know that this thing has limits and you're good to go.

SMALL CLAMP; WORKS AS DESCRIBED; RECOMMEND
Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2026 by W. N. BRADLEY
This speed clamp is pretty darn good for under $20. I do a lot of solo build-make projects and have learned to rely on speed clamps for that extra set of hands. In the past I used Irwins for about 3x what this one cost. This one puts out pretty decent psi for a speed clamp (if you need serious psi you have to go to an all steel bar clamp...but that's a whole different thing and not nearly as easy to use one-handed). A very small negative is that the plastic parts look and feel cheapish -- not sure how long they will hold up. The edges of the grip handle are a bit severe when clamping down hard with your hand. A good workaround is to wrap the handle with a rag -- more comfortable when your hand is really bearing down. And the little red plastic end caps pop off at just about any provocation. But once pressure is applied they stay put. I guess super glue would fix that. All-in-all definitely worth the money.

I purchased a set of these four years ago and use them a couple times a year. I am not a weight lifter, I am old and retired. I just broke the ratchet handle squeezing it with one hand; not abusing it, beating it… Half the time I can’t open a pickle jar for lack of grip.

This clamp is of adequate material quality, construction, and clamping power for the price point. However, it suffers from a major design flaw (as a matter of intentional function, not of accident) that will not make me a repeat customer. Short version: the clamp automatically closes with gravity when holding it by its handle and the main rod is held vertically. A clamp is infuriating to use if it closes on me as I'm getting to the wood, or if I have to use two hands to just prevent it from closing -- something it shouldn't be doing unless I'm squeezing the handle or pressing the release button. Let me explain in fuller detail: consider needing to clamp something that is lying flat (horizontally) and you need to clamp the "sandwich" to ensure a good hold. Maybe it's a jig for something you're sawing off with a jig saw. Maybe you're holding a piece of wood tight to a table so it doesn't move while you work with pieces around it. In this situation, you naturally bring the clamp to the wood by holding it by its handle. You do it in the same way you might grip the handlebars of a motorcycle. You do it one-handed. However, the release button for this clamp only prevents it from opening farther (essential for a clamp, of course) -- the clamp is free to close regardless of whether you're squeezing the clamping handle or pressing the release button. As a result, when you're holding the clamp vertically and the steel rod is facing down, gravity will naturally close the clamp as you pick it up and bring it to the wood. It's instinctual (to me, at least) that a clamp doesn't move (open or shut) as I bandy it about and get it into position. Not the case with these, as I must use two hands for any situation where it requires horizontal clamping. I bought three of the 18" clamps, which all exhibit this behavior, so I am certain this was either intentional or deliberately disregarded as part of the design. My Dewalt clamp has a release lever that controls it in both directions, has larger pads, and a sturdier handle. I much prefer using it and will opt for those clamps in the future, when needed. I do not recommend this product.

I ordered the TEKTON 6 inch mini clamp to use as a spreader to shove a short section of vinyl plank flooring back under a door trim strip. The clamp did not come with instructions, but it was pretty intuitive figure out how the take off the end stop, slide the clamp handle down to the stop end, and reattach the stop pad to the opposite end. I was worried that because of the price the clamp and ratchet mechanism might be flimsy, but it is really sturdy. After screwing an angle plate into the floor and spraying the seams with silicone, the mini spreader moved the floor plank the 1/4" necessary to fit back under the door trim plate. Very pleased with this tool!
