I'll say I understand that these clamps are better by design.. But, I too will agree that they are a pain most of the time. As wilder had said, they are rarely ever positioned all that great during assembly.
And Ya, I am a back-yarder who don't have all the special crap that a pro might have.. BUT justification is key in most situations.. I'm not going to spend the money to buy the tool for something I have to deal with MAYBE once a year. (The pair a guy I used to help wrench costed 75 bucks if I remember right.. but were pretty slick.. held the handle and it had a cable that ran to the "jaws" that would squeeze the clamp) And even sometimes they didn't make the job a whole lot simpler.
So as was also said, cut some slack.. we all can't afford to buy all the special tools every time we have to work on something.. And rarely will a service book tell you how to build a special tool these days either (My 750/760 massey combine manual explains how to make a lot of tools to make jobs easier.. never saw it in another book.. everyone else just says to see your dealer and order this tool number or that tool number)
