https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhRZFIEL_xo Just saw this video pop up on Facebook. I can’t find anything wrong with them depending on the price they could be a good deal.
Nice looking clamp.
You can never have too many clamps.
Ratchet straps make great clamps too!
Saw these, Home Depot had hem on the website. But listed as out of stock right know, price seemed right in line with all the other clamps out there. I think I want all of them.
has anyone used these yet? i have the irwins and they work great but i wouldn’t mind adding more dewalt to my collection 😉
I don’t have any trigger clamps so far in my shop….but I definitely need some! yellow harmonizes good to all the blue I got 😛
I bought a bunch of Irwin clamps when HD got rid of their items.
i cleared out the shelf 😀
parallel jaw box clamps, pipe clamps, and some normal clutch lock bar clamps
Yea I like the Irwin’s 2 I bought mine on Black Friday last year
I’m gonna order the set pretty soon. As soon as I finish setting up my tool trailer.
very cool Ricky let us know how u likem man
i def need some too
its way quicker than the normal bar clamps
u cant have to many MM they always come in handy especially when workin alone
i have a bunch – but none of those trigger clamps
Definitely need to add these to my yellow collection. Unfortunately my clamps are all Irwin right now.
I have the irwins also chad there not bad buti like the look and quality of these dewalts.chad mayby we will lucky on black fri and HD will have these on special like they did with the irwins
One can only hope. Unfortunately I have to watch home depot on cyber Monday. That’s the only way I’ll catch any deals.
I will do that too, besides of black Friday shopping 😀
I tried looking at cyber mon and felt like all the stuff was priced still the same I don’t mayby I gotta give it another try this year
Maybe they will have something for a good price
Yep my problem is driving 2 hrs to the nearest Home Depot and hoping they have what I’m looking for.
that makes sense chad – my local store is like 5mins away 😀
then I have 4 more which are 45mins away
Yeah, even lowes is n hour away. I drive down there a couple days a week for work. They just don’t always have everything that you want in the store
Picked up the 50″ and two 24″ heavy duty ones today and I’m impressed. Very similar to the Irwins only Black and Yellow. Easier to flip to spreaders though.
Hopeing to pick up a set of these to Rick soon
but first on black Friday the 4 clamp kit when they “hopefully” go on sale 😛
Does anyone know why HD stopped selling the Iwins? I have the Irwin clamps and they work really well. But, I like the easy button on the Dewalt clamps to switch to spreader mode over the screw with spring that the Irwin has.
I did see HD pre black friday sale had a 4 pack of the Dewalt clamps for $35. Not sure how much of a sale that actually is compared to the normal price.
HD changed their supplier. from Irwin to bessey and they also stocked up more DeWalt clamps
I bought the Irwin clamps when HD got rid of them – spend like 200 bucks on clamps but it was well worth it.
the 4pack DW clamps are normal price – wait until black Friday and you might get them cheaper man
It wasn’t an HD decision… Irwin & Bessey made the switch. Lowes got rid of Bessey and went straight irwin. HD picked up Bessey and DeWalt. I picked up 4 Bessey 50″ bar clamps at Lowes when they were clearing them out. $12.00 each.
Ya you can make some nice deals when they want to get rid of stuff
Man I always miss those deals
They look good, and they are expensive too. Don’t know if they are better or worse then Irwin

I honestly feel they are better. Very easily switch from clamp to spreader. Seems like they are more heavy duty and more clamping power.
I just used two this AM as spreaders to set a range hood. Very nice and smooth for precision movements to get the hood nice and level.
I keep walking by these at HD ready to pick these up but I talk to a worker there and he suggested I wait for BF but either way if they don’t go down ill still pick them up
I was in Home Depot today and they have a set of four DeWalt clamps on their “black Friday” sale for 34 bucks. They looked pretty nice. They say you can’t have too many clamps but you can have too many of the same size I think and I really don’t need anymore 12 inch. But they do look good.
not sure this is a good deal but this is what they offer here…..
Those r the same ones we got in our HD also except there in a sleeve box type
just a few more days until the shopping begins – I def go to lowes and grab a few things which they already revealed on the BF deals
I have a few of those and they compare to the Irwin clamps.
Samantha ended up buying me two of the XL 24″ clamps for Christmas. I really like those clamps. Real solid firm consistent pressure. Not sure about the mediums and larger but the XL ones are really heavy duty.
I swear u got a keeper their. Hold onto her, all the way to Florida.
I have 2 packs of the 6piece dewalt trigger clamps and I really like those. ( I bought one kit myself and the other one I got for x-mas from my wife)
I really have to pick these up.
Used two of the micro clamps recently on kick plates and they worked great! They are the perfect size for fitting in between the door and the jamb. Not sure if they are better or worse than Irwin, but they worked for what I needed them for. I would recommend buying the small ones for anyone that might be doing trim or similar applications.

Played with the larger ones at depot over the weekend, picked up two 4.5″ clamps. I will be back for more!!!
I have a bunch of these and the Quick Grip clamps.
Dewalt are lighter also little slimmer and the grips are more comfortable.
Dewalt pads are firmer but the softer QG pads and corner pads will fit on the Dewalt
The ability to convert to spreader quickly is the real bonus.

Too bad Bosch doesn’t make clamps, huh?

haha right. would be nice to have to trigger clamps or bar clamps from bosch.
but they actually have some clamps. for the plunge saw / rail

Those look just look just like my Festool screw clamps for my TS55REQ track saw
so who invented them first 😀
