Does it matter what type of spring-loaded clamps I use? I assume Zinc alloy is better than steel for this work. Can someone please check this page (http://www.aircraftspruce.com/menus/to/clampingtools.html ) and tell me what clamps, if any, to avoid?

Thanks in advance,
Tom

Tom,

I have found that most spring-loaded clamps are only good for situations where they are expected to be about as effective as the clamping you would get between your thumb and forefinger. This is not a put-down. There are plenty of situations where they are useful and handy. The same goes for those plastic, squeeze ratchet types. Because of the relatively low pressures and short-term use, I don't think the type of metal is critical.

If you need really tight, secure clamping, use vice-grip types or screw types.

I have about 8 of these (SPRING TENSION CLAMP AT542), several quick grip bar claps from Home Depot and 4 of the clamps that are kind of like plyers but have the bolt to adjust grip.

But the ones I use the most, are the little clips that have the rubber ends and they are perfect for holding a skin in place while drilling.
