Small Clamp 1x3.5 (2)

Clothespins are great for a beginner, but these affordable clamps are better at the pesky tasks of airplane hulls and wings. Such a good deal I got an extra set for my father.

Simple and easy to use at a price that makes it crazy not to buy. The lever that locks the clamp in place is very simple and may need some elbow grease (it is just plastic on plastic using friction). The notches on the clamp jaws are a nice touch, but I expect them to be a bit fiddly at times. The plastic shouldn't mar surfaces, but I will use some rubber/felt barrier if I think it would be a problem. The hold is fine for my purpose - holding models in place while glue dries and increasing pressure to lessen gaps.

Works very well for gluing plastic structures. Clamps are light weight and does not tip what you are gluing.
