HORUSDY 88008 8-Piece Bar Clamp Set, 6" and 12", 150-lb Capacity

Woodworkers and home repairers who need to hold pieces steady can use this HORUSDY set for a range of clamping tasks. It combines 6-inch and 12-inch bar clamps with 6-inch spring clamps. The different sizes suit projects that call for a compact hold as well as work needing more reach. A quick-change design also lets the bar clamps switch to spreading.

The essentials

The set includes four 6-inch bar clamps, two 12-inch bar clamps, and two 6-inch spring clamps. That mix gives you different clamp styles for holding pieces during woodworking or home repairs, rather than relying on a single size. The bar clamps have a nylon body, hardened steel bar, and metal ratchet construction, with a stated squeeze capacity of up to 150 lbs.

For spreading, the 6-inch clamps accommodate openings up to 11-9/64 inches, while the 12-inch clamps accommodate up to 17-21/64 inches. To change a bar clamp into a spreader, press the red quick-change button, remove and reverse the jaws, then put them back in place. Flexible, non-slip pads help the jaws grip the work surface, and the ergonomic handle is designed for a comfortable hold.

Buyer feedback often highlights the clamps’ versatility, ease of use, and grip, some buyers also appreciate being able to operate them one-handed. Views on stability vary, with some reporting a secure hold and others saying the clamps can loosen over time.

Who it’s for

This set suits DIYers and woodworkers who want several clamp formats for different jobs. The smaller bar clamps can be useful when working with more compact pieces, while the 12-inch clamps provide a longer reach. If a project calls for spreading rather than squeezing, the reversible jaws add that function without requiring a separate style of bar clamp.

For example, when assembling or repairing a wooden piece at home, you can choose a clamp size based on the workpiece and switch to spreading when the task calls for pushing surfaces apart. The two 6-inch spring clamps add another format for smaller holding tasks. This combination is a practical fit for varied bench and home-repair work, a single-size clamp set may suit a workflow built around just one consistent reach, while this set offers more size and function options.

Getting the most from it

Choose the clamp size and style to match the task, then position the pads against the surfaces you want to hold. For spreading, use the quick-change button to reverse the jaws and select the bar length suited to the opening. The listed spreader ranges provide a useful guide: up to 11-9/64 inches with the 6-inch clamps and up to 17-21/64 inches with the 12-inch clamps.

The non-slip pad texture supports contact with the workpiece, while the ratchet mechanism applies clamping pressure. For woodworking and repair jobs involving multiple pieces, having both bar-clamp lengths and spring clamps on hand makes it easier to choose a format for each hold instead of using one clamp style for every task.

Final verdict

HORUSDY’s 88008 set brings together three useful clamp formats, two bar-clamp lengths, and a reversible spreader function. It’s well suited to woodworkers and home repairers who want flexible holding options in one set, with a stated squeeze capacity of up to 150 lbs for clamping work.
