CHEAP eBay clamps

There are 6 "vise grip style" clamps in this auction, including an 18" one! $21 shipped. How bad could they be? Could they even be usable? What about if one considered them to be clamp kits - could they be made usable?

Lets see, what could be wrong with them:

- the steel could be so inferior to bend or break under load,

- the fit could be so bad that the jaws don't line up,

- the joints could be so loose that the jaws wander,

- the threads could be so rough that adjustment is difficult, ???

How in the world can these be manufactured, shipped across the Pacific, middlemen be paid, and still only be $21 delivered?
