Columbian clamps

Went to Big Lots for a cheeap paint brush and found they had Columbian speed
clamps, 24" for $7. Heavy and nice deep jaws. Also had 12" for $6. Got 2 of
the 24", probly get a couple more and a couple 12", too
They go for $26.48 on Amazon.

Is this a gloat?

Last time I bought cheap bar clamps at H/F, 24" were less than $15
including tax for a box of 6, when on special sale.

Just compared them to a Bessey clamp. Almost the same but deeper jaws. These
don't twist, clamped some wood together and they worked fine.

"If" these are same that Lowes carried a while back,
they can be bent pretty easily by just hand tightening.

I would spend my money on better clamps, but
you never know till you try them.

Going to Big Lots for anything is never a gloat.
