Query: Vise Grip 11R 11-Inch Regular Tip Locking C-Clamp

I use these 11R Vise-Grip adjustable C- clamp pliers all the time for welding and brazing. They have a 4" capacity, but I find that I use them most often for clamping metal plate, angle iron and things in the range of 1" to 3" in thickness. I prefer this locking clamp over the similar 11SP type with the swivel pads, since I can get these into tighter places or even up close to the weld point if needed for more precise parts alignment without interfering with the line of sight for the weld bead. I do use the other 11SP C-clamps with the swivel pads for things like my Kreg jig and as a clamp for glue up on small wood projects, but these 11R clamps are my go-to clamps for metal work because I find they will pinch parts together very securely. I've actually used them for a ground clamp attachment point when MIG welding on occasion. Overall, I think these 11R locking clamps work well and would definitely recommend them to anyone that welds often.
