Negative Positive
Title: New & poor design
Review: I purchased " Irwin pipe clamps 3 years ago and I was very happy with them, recently I purchased an additional clamp to reinforce my clamping capacity. On first sight I saw that the design was slightly changed, the new one looks slightly slimmer compared to the picture and from the clamps I already had, but more seriously the new clamp performed very poorly. The sliding part is jammed all the time over the pipe during tightening action and you have to use your free hand to continuously releasing it in order to complete the job. I have many Irwin tools in my shop and I was very satisfied so far but this one was the last Irwin clamp I will ever buy.
Is the review positive or negative?
