Dimide clamps

Does anyone have any experience with these?

As I get older, I seem to get weaker. These seem like a good solution. If they work.

DIMIDE Clamps

We're giving clamps the long overdue power tool upgrade. With a Dimide Clamp you're finally able to get the clamp force you want with push button ease thanks to impact-rated design and construction. Our HD Series Clamps are made for those who are constantly struggling with T-handles or are too...

Just watched video, interesting.

You loose a bit of leverage, so you would need to use an impact to get some of the clamping force back. But if you're gonna use it and need it, I'd say go for it. Get a couple to try out. Report back.

So far I am not impressed. Ordered on the 17th. Shipping label made on 19th. Still not delivered to the shipper per the tracking number.

Yep. I was hoping to use them this weekend. USPS has already been here.

Got the clamps this week. Only opened the box.

We had the Kant-twist at work. Just the small ones. They worked well enough...I thought I posted this earlier.

Finally got to use these. They suck. When I tightened the first one down, I got stung on my head by a hornet.

I guess I should have checked the piece of square tubing I was using for a brace. It was sitting outside for a week.

Impact gun went pththththth, something flew out and got me before I could react. I was on a ladder working over my head.

It died a stomping death.

So besides the critter, how's the actual clamp. It do the job or not so much?

Did what I asked of it. Wasn't much. On a 10' ladder, the Vise-grip 11SP would have been easier. But I wanted to try them.

What I will like, is the ease of making different clamping fixtures for the jaws. Instead of welding to the clamp. The jaw plate has a detent pin. Pull it and put in something custom.
