Good light-duty clamp:

Jorgensen 3712 12" Steel Bar Clamp
I've been using the Jorgensen 12", 24", and 30" clamps, for 20 years. They are good quality and have not rusted or otherwise deteriorated.. The 12" has been the most useful to me. The shorter length is easier to deal with (when it fits the work), and they seem to clamp with greater force than the longer clamps. The bar on the 24" and up size bends quite a bit towards the work if you really tighten the screw handle. There's nothing wrong with that as long as you... more info

have plenty:

One of the essentials when setting up a shop. You need multiples of all sizes. The Jorgensen along with the Pony pipe clamps are my favorites. They are easy to set up and use, they hold the piece tight and with the rubber pads they don't mar the wood. They also make a 24" and above with a ratcheting system (very nice). You can't go wrong with Jorgensen.

Bigger is Better:

I would just recommend that if you are considering buying this to consider the 24 or 36 inch versions instead. I purchased this along with the others, and then realized that if I have one of the larger clamps that I have no need for the 12" clamp.

The larger clamps can do the same job as this one plus more.

Also if you buy only one the wood will not be sucured to the table.
