Excel Blades 3-Inch Adjustable Plastic Bar Clamps Set – 6-Pack Mini Woodworking Clamps and Spreaders for Model Building, Crafts, and DIY Woodworking Projects – Inch-Marked Side Beams – Made in USA

These little clamps are fantastic! They clamp tight and don’t slip. The only thing I would recommend is putting a little buffer between the plastic clamp and anything you have painted. It would be great if these clamps came with a teeny little adhesive felt pad that could go on each end of the jaw. Other than that, they are exactly what I needed to glue the top half of my model car to my bottom half.

Works well for planking on smallish wooden ships. Plastic doesn't damage wood. Light weight. Locking mechanism is a little clunky but works well if careful. Does what I need it to do.

They can be a little finicky to set but aren't bad. Overall they work well and hold tightly.

I'm kinda bummed with these clamps... so far. The locking mechanism on 4 of the 6 stick in the closed position. I might try sanding them down a little, and see if that can help..These are not too strong, I see them better for flat parts like wings. They have not worked on the fuselage. They cannot grip on the shape, and slide off. I would be willing to pay a bit more for a rubber-type coating to grip odd shapes.

For the price and quantity you get for this simple tool, I think they’re great. Yeah the plastic is a bit rough, but as a plastic modeler I have just the tools to fix that myself! In fact I plan on filing down a couple of the jaws to make a small parts version. It’s a simple design that uses a sliding wedge to place the clamps. It only gets as tight as you squeeze them with your fingers. Clamps with springs often squeeze too hard so this is an improvement over those for me at least.Excel, if you read this, I’d pay more for a ratcheting version this size if you ever make one.

Bought to use when putting together miniature kits like “Kiki’s Magic Emporium”. Working well for clamping small pieces while the glue dries. I had been using rubber bands for some pieces, but these work better, are easier to apply, and are more versatile.

Perfect size for model makers

Great concept, and they are certainly light weight enough that you could 'clamp' small light objects without the clamp causing damage....but they're just too 'in-exact' if that makes sense. It's hard to dial in the clamp tightness, and then engage the locking wedge to hold it. I'll toss 'em in a drawer and maybe someday they'll prove useful, but for clamping small parts I'd say..........pass......
