For years I viewed DIY programs on TV wherein hosts would automatically reach for a a mini-bar clamp; and usually they were the blue and yellow Irwin brand. After purchasing a set, I now understand. The mini bar clamp is an important tool for just about any task. It's quick-grip feature is great, but I find its quick-release just as vital in moving projects along. The Irwin brand is a solid performer, and I intend to buy more of them.
