Picked these up at Sears the other day. Tried them out and they are great. The soft plastic jaws swivel for irregular shapes and has a ratcheting lock. They are about 5 inches long and the spring loaded jaws wide enough for anything I will ever do. About $2 each.
Mr. Roebuck is PeeOed he didn’t invent those. I have the General 6" steel ruler though.[:D][tup]
Humm… Me don’t think Mr. Roebuck invented anything other than selling things from a catalog. Even the items with the brand name Kenmore, Sears, and Craftsman are made by other companies. The same as any department or grocery store brand is.
Well me think so, Look it up.
I have some like these but I got mine at Lowes
I have some that look identical. I bought mine at the dollar store!

The only thing Alvah Roebuck invented other than a company with partner Richard Sears is an unused, modified keyboard layout for typewriters call “woodstock”.

Oh! I was just joken’ around, I thought those guys actually did something. …[8D]
At one time, you could buy a whole set of those clamps from Sears (and perhaps you still can). I once bought a set for Father for Christmas some years back and also a set for myself. I like them.
I got the same but from Wolfcraft:

And these are very handy too, in different sizes :
