Husky 6 in. and 4.5 in. Trigger Clamp Set (6-Piece)

These are great clamps for the money. Are there better clamps, yes, but at a much higher cost. I have experience with similar clamps by Irwin, Harbor Freight, and Jorgensen. One of the biggest Wins with the Husky is the easy to use lifetime warranty, you won’t find that with any other, not that you should normally need it. Just walk in the store show them the problem one and they’ll replace it, no receipt even needed.I like the release mechanism a little bit better on the Irwin and they are more attractive. Having used Irwins the most, it took a little getting used to the release mechanism on the Husky. I was initially having trouble with it because I wasn’t using it correctly. I was inadvertently putting a slight amount of pressure on the forward tightening trigger when engaging the smaller rear release trigger. Once I became aware of this and stopped, it released fine. Unlike lower end Irwins, Husky can be used as a spreader as well. The higher end Irwins are better in general, but at a much greater cost and are more appropriate for full time professional use. The HF clamps I don’t care for much, the release doesn’t work well at all and they won’t tighten as much, but if you are really short on money or only plan to use them once they might work, maybe. The Jorgensen ones I have are very good and made in the USA, however that model is no longer made and I haven’t used their current design.Most all clamp bars (unless made of plated steel) tend to eventually get surface rust, and many do not slide as smoothly as one might like. This can largely be prevented by periodically wiping them lightly with either silicone lubricant or just about any type of oil you have on hand. I suggest doing this even when new. If they do start to rust it’s easy to resolve if you catch it reasonably early. A few passes with 100-200 grit sandpaper usually takes care of it in less than 5 minutes, then lubricate. If they get really bad it’s probably easier to replace them, if it’s a husky, you can use the warranty.

Good price, but the small 4.5″ clamps are pretty weak and started slipping after being exposed to sawdust.

Works great!

The clamps are great. I highly recommend them.

Good quality for the money. Great buy for casual use.

Good price. The sizes are good for small jobs. The clamps work well.

Great product

Good but the small one started slipping ………..

Good clamps,hold is solid. The only problem for me is the release is a different place than I am use to and sometime I release them accidently.

Great quality. Great price.
