I used these to push the break pistons back on an Audi Q5. The break piston assembly was quite big, and it cleared the thick metal housing to press on the pads. It was strong enough for this purpose and did not distort or fail. The paint finish did chip off after a few use, but if you are using it indoors and keeping it dry, it should not be a problem. I have had it for many years, and it did not rust where the paint chipped. This is not for smaller jobs because the clamp is heavy. It is not meant for projects like holding pipes since the pipe would loosen and be a hazard. It is not designed for this purpose. The stainless head is on swivel, so it can clamp things that are not parallel to the large C portion. The small thin rod for tightening and unscrewing the press is little weak. It you have to really force the clamp screw it might bend and possibly break. Use caution. It is great for clamping flat objects to a working table. That is what this is designed for. For the cost, I would recommend it.

Highly recommend this clamp. I got the 6 inch so that it's big enough for most everyday garage needs and so far it's been great. The size is good for many different needs and it's very strong. I have a problem overtightening things and this thing is not going to break easily. I definitely recommend this c clamp.

These clamps are heavy duty (4 of them weigh about 5 pounds). The clamp mechanism is solid & works well. The bar to turn the screw is large, for an easy grip & tightening, & the head of the push part swivels, to make for a better grip on the item being held.The finish of the head of the push part is smooth & level, unlike many other clamps I've owned, so it grips better & doesn't damage the item being held.My only complaint is that all 4 of my clamps arrived with the paint coating chipping in numerous spots, & I received paint "splinters" in my skin. This forces me to either sand the clamps or to wear protective gloves while using them, neither of which should be necessary. The paint chipping may have been due to poor packing by the seller, but most of my clamps in normal situations are going to be dropped onto cement sooner or later, & the paint shouldn't chip off as easily as is the case with these clamps. I have other brands of clamps where the paint has remained intact after years of use (Jorgensen, for example).

I’ve found that I am using these more than I anticipated. They hold wood frames in place while cutting.

I regularly use C-Clamps at my company. Many of the clamps I've had for years have fallen apart, lost the screw-tab thing or have become bent. When I decided to buy some new clamps, I looked at many products and read hundreds of reviews before deciding on these Irwin 4" clamps. These clamps are without a doubt the best clamps I've ever owned. They were priced on the upper-end of the scale for 4" clamps...there are cheaper clamps available. However, if you need a sturdy clamp and if you tend to be hard on your tools like I am, these are worth every penny. I don't write reviews often...I just wanted to let others know how really good these are. Last week I purchased more Irwin clamps...the 5" type...they seem to be great as well. I highly recommend Irwin clamps!!

It technically does the job, but it was much too heavy for my purposes. I returned it and got a smaller one, and that's now working out :)

The Irwin deep throat C clamp feels solid and is a well finished product.The opening is 4 inches and depth is near same.Recommended for areas where your requirement is for a deeper / longer holding is required.The screw is smooth to move around.
