I figured the magnets would let go the second I hit a stubborn nut, but they held a 15mm and an 18mm upside down on a frame rail for a full header swap and never slipped once, so what's the cheapest tool you all keep reaching for that you swore was junk?
Watched my buddy swear off those cheap HF bar clamps after one bent on him, then he grabbed the same ones a month later to hold a cabinet together during glue up. He had like six of them on there, all twisted and ugly, and they clamped fine. Now he keeps two in his truck at all times lol. Funny how the cheap stuff earns its spot once you stop expecting it to be Snap-on.
