TEKTON 1 Inch Nylon Spring Clamp | 3914

I'm a photographer and need a near endless variety of clamp sizes for backdrops, lights, reflectors and even fixing clothing on models. One thing I've learned is cheap clamps are a liability and soon break, sending flying parts into people and gear. So I was wary about buying the TEKTON 3901 Mini Spring Clamps. Ten pieces for ten bucks seemed too good to be true. However, once in hand, I was pleasantly surprised at how burly these little guys were: killer spring tension and beefy nylon and fiberglass handles. Not as bulletproof as my old made-in-USA Pony clamps but I know my backdrops are staying put! At a mere three inches of total length, these handles don't afford much leverage, so they can be tough to open after hanging a half dozen clamps. However, the springs break-in and weaken a little with repeated use.The only product gotcha is the red plastic pad on the jaws comes loose too easily. No problem snapping them back on but obviously they can tend to get lost.All in all a good deal on a great little clamp.

Loved how sturdy they are. They are a little hard to open and not rip the plastic on my tomato house - I have already torn the plastic. Too bad! They may come in different sizes and this size holds great but one has to know what one is doing to not tear the plastic. No fault of the clips; I the user take responsibility. If I take good care of these I hope they will last for years to come. Low enough priced that I can buy more as needed.

These are well made. The plastic is thick, feels solid and have good clamp force, just short of hurting when squeezing your fingers. The all plastic versions are helpful when what you need clamped may get wet, reduces hassles with rust, and the plastic jaws reduce risk of scratches on your work. I've put them to work and they perform as expected.I have 3 versions of these clamp designs, Harb0r Fre1ght box of 22, a Denali and these. The Tekton and Denali are built of the same quality. HF version, I lost 6 in the package because the plastic is thin and broke when I tried them. The HF cost 22/$4, Tekton 10/$9 and Denali 14/$12. However, I haven't had any more of the HF brand clamps break, but they are thinner, weaker and are good for craft work, and you'll get more clamps per dollar. The Tekton and Denali cost about the same, about 90c each.

These are very useful, tighten down hard and compact. Held tarps together reliably in strong wind. Only complaint is that the small red tips of the clamps come off very easily. This is not acceptable for leave no trace situations, so be prepared to manage microtrash or remove them before you depart. I'd recommend manufacturer either make tips stay on more reliably or design them out of the product.

The red part comes off but maybe it is the way I am so rough.

I use it to clamp my hose on to my aquarium while doing water changes. I have to use two hands to squeeze it open which isn’t a problem. It great. It does what it’d made for. No complaints

Simple, straightforward, strong, durable. I use these clamps for holding tarps and guylines when camping and they do the job just fine. They're well built enough that even if one of the little red feet comes loose, you can easily pop it back-in. Cheap-o grocery story clamps break the second you put any real strain on them, these hold up to weather and rough use.You could even use them as a chip clip if you wanted, they'll certainly last far longer than the ones you find at grocery stores.

The design of them was important for the application I'm using them for. They appear to be well made, have worked well so far. They do take some effort to use but hold well. I'd recommend to friends and would purchase again.

Su tamaño pequeño permite fijar objetos de forma simple sin estorbos. Aprietan muy bien, tienen fuerza y no se sienten débiles ni se safan por accidente fácilmente

These are great little clamps! I use them to hold plastic in my oddly designed window to seal it for my portable air conditioning vent. They are good and strong.

Todo muy bien, funcionan bien para sostener lonas, al momento todo bien, siguen funcionando bien sin perder fuerza

These mini-clamps can be used for anything... and I used it to help clamp my travel trailer cover down, and at times when it gets windy I also feel nervous about my travel trailer cover being blown away onto the street. No more worries, and like I said these mini-clamps are good for many different uses and perfect for my situation. Clamps and holds very well, and I plan to buy more later this year :D

Use these to clip a tarp to an old car. They are sturdy and well built. Thanks
