6 PCS 3.75" Spring Clamps

These spring clamps are absolutely fantastic! I use them for everything from photography setups to home projects and they've been incredibly versatile. The grip strength is perfect - strong enough to hold securely but easy enough to position quickly. The quality construction is evident and they feel very durable. I love how lightweight yet sturdy they are. The spring mechanism works smoothly every time and hasn't weakened at all. Great for backdrop support, organizing cables, securing tarps, and countless other uses. The 6-pack gives you plenty to work with and the 3.75" size is just right for most applications. These have become an essential tool in my kit!

In purchased this set to hang a banner from a Background Stand Backdrop Support System Kit 8ft by 10ft wide By Fancier Studio TB30 . These work, but the tips are separated a full inch with I am clamping the banner to the cross member bar on the backdrop support system. I worked around that by rolling about two inches of the top part of the banner, and these clamps hold it perfectly in place. The actual clamps are about 3.75 inches end-to-end, and will open a full 2.5 inches. If you want the actual tips to be the clamping surface you will need a cross member 3/8 of an inch of less. For anything larger, you can do as I and roll a portion of the top of a banner or backdrop over the cross member bar and these will work well. For my purposes these are relatively sturdy, and the tips are actually self-adjusting, which is a nice feature. Moreover, the tips are made of a softer material than the clamp, so they are less likely to mar a surface while the textured faces provide a positive grip.

These are not the best quality in the world. As their name implies, they are cheaply made and light weight but they are also priced cheap and will do in a pinch. If you are looking for something that will last you a long time with heavy use or are rugged, keep looking. If you just want something for light use and don't mind potentially replacing them sooner than later, give these a try. UPDATE: 8 YEARS LATER, THEY ARE STILL BEING USED! Changing from 3☆'s to 5☆'s HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

These clamps were slightly smaller than I thought they would be, but I am a hobbyist photography, so I didn't really know what to expect. The clamps fit snugly around the circumference of a standard light stand with just enough room to fit some fabric. Obviously this is why they are that size - I just didn't know. They are plastic, but very strong and the clamping power is quite good. The only annoyance is the little red pads on the end, swivel all the way around so if you are trying to attach something up high with one hand, sometimes they flip backwards and don't grab correctly. You just need to make sure they are facing inwards before you reach up high. I used all 6 clamps to attach a large king size sheet to a linco backdrop stand and it was enough - Very solid. I debated just getting some generic clamps at home depot, but I am glad I got these because I think they probably do a better job clamping fabric to the size of the light stand bars.

The seller gets 5 stars because the item was delivered on time and it was exactly as described. The only downside to this is that these clips cost me $7 at the time of purchase and you don't really need these to hold a backdrop. You can use clothes pins or possibly find a cheaper alternative at your local big box home improvement store and I didn't think about that until I received them. On the flip side of that coin they do help your set up look professional, so it's not a bad investment at all. They look and work as described, arrived on time and were less than $10!

Exelente

They work well, and if you plan to use them indoor, you should have no issues with them. I was using them in a greenhouse, and the sun put a hurting on them, in about six months, half of them have broken due to the sun making the fragile. They are so cheap that they are still a good solution, I may try something different, or I may repurchase them.

I was concerned that these clips would not be strong enough, and when they came in the mail, they were smaller then I pictures,but as it turned out they are perfect for clamping my fabric backdrop to my bookshelf. A useful tool.
