Are there any magic tips to stop these things from slipping off. Almost every time I try to clamp something at least one of the handles or pads (the part that prevents dents in the workpiece) slip off. I was going to try to superglue them to the clamps, but I wanted to see if anyone had a better suggestion. How do you guys deal with these slippery things?

Thanks,

David

I take off the pad, apply a little hot glue, and put it back on. No issues..

Ah hot glue. Good idea - I'll try it.

You must be buying those home depot dollar clamps. I think gorilla glue would stick them on.

@Steve Neul - Yep, they are very cheap. Is there something better about the more expensive ones (except that the handles don't fall off )?

Clear silicone.... If for some reason you ever want to remove the pads, you can....
Been doing this for a long time....

Sent to y'all offen' a iPad thing......

I always use cauls or a piece of scrap to prevent clamp damage
