At times we tend to take things for granted, even the things without which we cannot live. It is only when these things are absent then only we realize their importance. Similarly for woodworkers, clamps play a very important role, and without these clamps it would be almost impossible to create any type of wood item.
The clamp size - Woodwork projects are not the same and therefore have different requirements. The bench clamps are made in different sizes and it is important to consider the extent of the projects you get so that you can choose a clamp size that won't disappoint with both small and larger projects.

Your supplier - Only reputable tool suppliers will get you genuine high quality bench clamps. You can buy your clamps directly from manufacturers if possible or their outlets, but you can also find reliable, trustworthy dealers offering the tools at good quality. Whether you are buying the bench clamps online or from your local supplier, ensure that you can trust in the quality of the product you are buying.
Once the wood is clamped into place, spread wood glue along the seal where the wood will need to connect at a joint. Spread the glue with your finger or a piece of card stock to ensure there is an even distribution and the glue won't cause warping while it cures. Follow the instructions for the glue about curing time, and then you can release the pipe clamps. If using more than one clamp, it is best to incrementally loosen pressure on each clamp as opposed to removing them one by one. If the curing process went smoothly and pressure was distributed correctly, the wood should be firmly connected.
Clamp price - Fact is that the brand, quality, size and materials used to make the bench clamp can determine the price you get to pay in the end. You of course should get the clamp you can afford, but also ensure that you don't end up compromising on its quality in the name of saving money on the tool.
