Pro tip: that $9 harbor freight clamp I laughed at held my whole cabinet glue up
I grabbed a cheap bar clamp at the Harbor Freight in Fresno last month just to have a spare and figured it would slip the second I put real pressure on it. It held tight through a full face frame glue up on Saturday, while my $30 name brand clamp crept loose on the second joint. Anyone else got a cheap tool that flat out beat the fancy one, and what was it?
