with apologies to Ogden Nash...
It took me a while to figure out that the clamps without pads I accumulated weren't broken but rather were "heavy duty" (called, maybe incorrectly, "die clamps" here). After I learned that, they got promoted from the "junk" drawer.And they still sell them:https://www.williams-industrial.com/us_en/heavy-duty-c-clamps--deep-throat-design--standard-screw-pb_cc-1xaaw---cc-xxlaaw.html
They must be for clamping steel pieces only, tightening with a wrench would crush or deform most other materials.
