"Fuller Pro Speed Clamps" opinion request

[P.W.H.]

Hi all, I was looking to see if I can get a few more Irwin quick clamps at my local Mitre10.
Seems they've practically abandoned Irwin, and most of the clamps on their website are
now Fuller branded.

Does anyone have experience of these? Are they as good as the Irwin ones? Better?
Would be nice if I can get them at Mitre10 because I have loyalty card points to spend,
but I don't really want to collect some junk that I'll throw out in disgust after a short
time. I certainly won't buy their in-house brand.
Bunnings still seems to stock the blue and yellow ones, or they were when I was in there
a few months ago.

Which reminds me - DeWalt seems to have got in on the act with their own offering.
Mitre 10 stock those. Any good?

Thanks in advance for any feedback and opinions. -Peter

I couldn't find these at a quick look and then realised you're in N.Z. - the penny dropped. :D These 'Fuller' branded clamps are a 'home' brand of an established Taiwan manufactured clamp. I'd be surprised if they aren't every bit as good as the Irwin branded ones. As long as it says 'Made in Taiwan' and you avoid the cheaper one's with the round coloured release button at the top front of the moving jaw you can't really go wrong with this style of clamp.

PWH, if the New Zealand market is the same as Oz, Irwin product is no longer available to the general market and is being sold exclusively to Bunnings. This is a decision made by Stanley after they purchased Irwin in 2017. It is Stanley’s intention to bring many new products into the market branded Dewalt to cover the Irwin range, hence you are seeing the one handed bar clamps appearing branded Dewalt.

Ah, that clears up some confusion. Thank you very much for pointing that out.
