The plastic handles broke off the fulcrum. Of the remaining ones half of the pivot pads at the buisness end of the clamp have broken off.
I only paid 9 buck for the complete set of 12. I gues it proves the point you get what you pay for...
They served their purpose, and I will be able to finish the build without buying any more. Would I buy HF plastic clamps again? Probably not.

Was it this type of clamp? http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=36277 I've had really good luck with mine so far, the first time I used them on my trailer was on the trip home with it. Here's a shot of two clamps holding the window closed on the trip home from Shasta, CA.
