Some people treat clamps as some ozbargainers treat eneloops. I've got a lot, some from sales here for the Bunnings Irwin brand and these are less than half the price of the Irwin clamps when they are on super sale. Getting 4x ratcheting bar clamps for $10 is a pretty stellar deal IMO.

    Can never have enough clamps

  • Calvin27 on 20/06/2016 - 11:36

    Nice!

  • allergic2work on 20/06/2016 - 11:48

    Bought a set of the 4 pcs last time and 3 out of the 4 just slip after a couple months of light usage. Very annoying…never again.

    • SnoozeAndLose on 20/06/2016 - 11:50

      Can you say it is what you have pay for? did you bring it back for refund?

        Nah it was outside of the 60 day return period. Will just wait for the next deal on irwin quick grips. Got a small pair of those that were abused, rusted from weather and still work well.

        • llllllllllllll on 20/06/2016 - 12:02

          So Irwin is the stuff when it comes to clamps?

        • SnoozeAndLose on 20/06/2016 - 12:04
          -4

          You have 1 year warranty on everything in Australia not just 60 days.

        • Davros on 20/06/2016 - 12:12

          @LoveBargain15: I bet I'll need a receipt though right?

        • SnoozeAndLose on 20/06/2016 - 12:15

          @Davros:
          Receipt is needed no matter it is 60 days or 1 year warranty. right?
          or you can have a bank record is OK under Australia Law.

        • allergic2work on 20/06/2016 - 12:16

          @LoveBargain15: yes whilst true, what I wanted was working clamps and as these were special buys, aldi no longer stocked them when mine failed. Best I could hope for was to get a $10 refund.
          Whilst I'm not rich (hence why I'm here) for the hassle at this price, I consider it lesson learnt. Call it pay to play….

        • allergic2work on 20/06/2016 - 12:20

          @huythanhv2: irwin grips have better weight ratings for how much they can hold. Whilst they cost more than double this deal when on special, they just seem to work well and more importantly last. I'm sure there's more premium quick clamp brands out there but for amateur diy stuff irwin will work just fine. I'm sure even some trades would use their clamps.

          @LoveBargain15:
          If it's clearly something that they supplied, a business doesn't have to insist on a proof of purchase, but if they do, any reasonable proof will do. e.g. as you say a bank record from your Wave and Save card, a photocopy of the receipt, or even a social media post of you saying: "Here I am with my shiny new Thing(tm) from Place(tm)"

          You have 1 year warranty on everything in Australia not just 60 days.

          Utter bollocks, warranty length as defined by law depends on the product, purpose and price and can start at zero days.

        • garage sale on 20/06/2016 - 22:47

          yeah like lifetime …… it's not your lifetime…. it's what they deem would be the lifetime of the product eg Teflon frypan ….. 3 yrs, 5 yrs ….. varies by brand and model.

          @LoveBargain15: You do NOT have a 1 year warranty on everything in Australia. That is a blatant misrepresentation of the truth. Under the ACL, all goods sold in Australia carried an IMPLIED WARRANTY. The length of that implied warranty is based on a number of factors - namely price, types of goods etc. $2.50 clamps will be extremely unlikely to carry a 1 year warranty.

        meh, I buy all my tools from Sydney Tools or Bunnings and these types of clamps are never good. Had 3 sets break on me after a month or two

    • icecream on 20/06/2016 - 11:56

      Are they identical product as posted in this deal?

      • allergic2work on 20/06/2016 - 11:57

        Yep exactly the same…2 big and 2 small clamps…same design as per product pics

        • icecream on 20/06/2016 - 21:02

          Thanks for that. I'll think twice.

      Until they are not.
      As a poster said above, these arent worth the money, not to me at least.

      • c0balt on 20/06/2016 - 12:14

        60 day money back guarantee and 1 year warranty.

        They are $2.50 per clamp, if you get 1 job out of them then they pay for themselves. Then if they stop working as 1 user posted then you can take them back within a year to get a full refund.

          I'd rather have champs that just work. The amount it costs me in time to take then back and get a refund, then to bunnings to get proper champs is not worth the hassle.

        • tron07 on 20/06/2016 - 16:49

          @masuta:
          I prefer to have good tools as well and try to avoid cheap ones. Bought a set of drill saw bits from Aldi only to have them snap on the first attempt to drill. Try sawing but it just a waste of time so decided to try to refund. Lost the receipt but good thing I keep everything the box, wrapper etc neatly and Aldi allow a me refund without receipt.

  • thommo181 on 20/06/2016 - 12:24

    How much were the Irwin ones when they were on here?

    Clamping pressure: 600Nm
    Contact pressure: approx. 18kg

    Can anyone make sense of these specifications?

    We have units of torque and then mass quoted for pressure. o_0

  • altomic on 20/06/2016 - 15:08

    Reviews are mixed for these. Most people say great. And some say Ratsh!t.

  • JimB on 20/06/2016 - 15:20

    I have some small/medium Irwin ones, but wouldn't mind some larger ones.

    I'm not sure about the quality, but will buy them due to the price.

  • Maverick-au on 20/06/2016 - 16:26

    These clamps are rubbish, half of mine have broken and the other half feel like they're about to break.

    The crescent connect clamps are not much better, damn things won't tighten up and are useless.

  • Scorn on 20/06/2016 - 16:31

    I have bought these before, twice… All broken. They have steel bars, but plastic mechanics and housing.

    If you need a clamp, spend extra on Irwin! You will save money by not making multiple trips back to Aldi to get replacements.

  • [Deactivated] on 20/06/2016 - 16:32

    I have 2 larger clamps from them a few years back and they just work.
    Feel very plasticy trigger wise but bar and lock mechanism is metal which is good for some light duty work.

    Would definitely get this set if it's the same workzone stuff.

  • etto on 20/06/2016 - 17:00

    I read the headline as Ratchet & Clank for some reason…

  • llama on 20/06/2016 - 17:31

    I agree with the above comments, as I've found that all these cheap Chinese copies of Irwin clamps are pretty much rubbish.

    I don't own the Aldi ones, but they are the same appearance and design as the ones that I own. They cannot grip tightly since the plastic head and jaws deforms, and the gripping mechanism tends to fail after a while.

    Even the Irwins are pretty weak - it you want to tightly clamp things tightly then a set of bar clamps is better.

  • garage sale on 20/06/2016 - 22:53

    I think some people would find a use for them depending on the type of stuff they do ….. just like some of those entry level cordless drills etc……. suits a purpose. won't be as nice as my Erwin or dawn clamps but might suit eh task when not too much pressure is needed…… must be better then tape or using a rope and twisting it.

  • orza on 21/06/2016 - 09:43

    I picked up some Irwin 300mm heavy duty quickgrips at Bunnings. 272kg grip rating. These things are solid! Bought them on sale of course ($50 a pair, was just over a week ago though)

    I need some smaller clamps now, but not sure I could go back to Aldi ones.
