Forget the Tie—Dad Needs These Clamps
I usually don’t like squeeze clamps, but these surprised me.
Let’s be honest—Dad doesn’t need another tie, coffee mug, or multi-tool he’ll forget about in a drawer. But you know what he will use? A good set of clamps.
I’m not usually a fan of squeeze clamps. Most of them flex too much or don’t hold tight enough for clean glue-ups. But this 6-pack from WORKPRO genuinely impressed me. The set includes four 6-inch clamps and two 12-inch clamps—plenty to handle most small to mid-size woodworking projects.
I used them to glue up a desk shelf for my office. The legs needed to stay perfectly square, and these clamps locked them down with almost no adjustment. No slipping. No fuss. Just solid pressure and a clean glue joint.
At $34 (down from the usual $40) right now, this set is priced right—and honestly, I'm thinking of grabbing another set just to keep around. If the dad in your life is into woodworking, DIY, or just appreciates quality tools, these are an easy win.
