Best C-Clamps of 2025

"I used these to push the brake pistons back on my Audi Q5. They were strong enough and didn’t distort. The paint did chip off after some use, but I’ve had them for years without rust. I wouldn’t recommend them for smaller jobs since they’re heavy, but they are excellent for clamping flat objects to a table. For the price, I would definitely recommend them."
