This is not a heavy-duty clamp, but it is as solidly constructed as you would expect for this price. It will provide many years of service in my shop. The clamp performs exactly as it should - it slides easily, clamps easily with one hand, and provides sufficient clamping force for most of my DIY project needs. Often I do not need a heavy-duty clamp or even want one. This clamp is lightweight and easy to use, and it is a great addition to my tool collection.
My primary concern before purchasing this product was that it might turn out to be flimsy garbage. Now that I have used it for several weeks, I can tell you that it is a solid product. If you are looking for an affordable, easy to use, light to medium-duty clamp to add to your collection, this Tekton clamp will fit the bill.
UPDATE 1/29/15: I still stand by everything in my original review, however I have two additions to make. First, I noticed that the price on this clamp varies quite considerably, and my recommendation only applies if the price is < ~$15. Above that, this Tekton clamp quickly loses its value proposition. Second, for those who are looking for a more heavy-duty clamp, take a look at the Jorgensen HD line. They are built like tanks and priced VERY reasonably. Overall I consider them to be a much better value, however sometimes you actually want a lighter clamp or you want the quick "pump and release" clamp style vs. the slower screw style.
You will not be building a tree house or a dining room table with this clamp. If you want to build bird houses or pen holders, it might be perfect. I got it to hold electrical contacts on to the end of cell phone and camera lithium ion batteries. I might get some use out of it for leather work.
EDIT
As mentioned above, I've mostly been using this clamp to hold wires onto oddly-shaped batteries for charging. With a good lithium-ion charger, I'm able to charge and test all sorts of proprietary batteries (cell phone, camera, etc.)... but only if I can get the leads to stay in contact with the terminals! What I'm saying is that it got pretty light use (don't want to crush Li-Ion batteries!).
Well, something has happened over the 8 months since I bought it... a few weeks ago, I reversed the head to use it as a spreader (so I could apply pressure for 24hrs to a VHB adhesive installation in my car), and it wouldn't hold with a force of more than about 2-3lbs. I ended up taking it apart and examining it... for some reason, one of the internal bars was just plain slipping. I figured I was out of luck, and was getting ready to change my review when I noticed that a company representative was offering assistance to Amazon customers who had negative experiences.
I used the posted email address, explained my trouble, and within a couple hours, a representative had already contacted me, and asked for a shipping address so they could send me a replacement. Mind you, this is 8 months since purchase... well past the return period. But they list a lifetime replacement guarantee, and they really lived up to it. The next day, I received tracking information for a FedEx shipment, and in another day or two, the replacement clamp showed up at my door. It's working perfectly, and the replacement didn't cost me a dime.
Here's what you lose for the price - cheaper construction, button clamp release is difficult to push and feels like it might break, clamping pads are half the size (might be a benefit if you are working in a tight space). All that said, our use is incidental for this one project. I'd rather have twice as many cheap ones than half as many nice ones.
These are working out just fine for us.
