This deal happens every year. Last year was $19.97, but thanks to inflation this year it's $21.97. Still a good deal if you need standard bar clamps from a reputable brand.
This special 4-Pack is a great way to expand your clamp collection, as you can never have too many clamps. Each 4-piece package contains 2 each of the 6 in. GSCC2.506 and 12 in. GSCC2.512 clamp. The BESSEY clutch style clamps are a popular and economical design that can be used for a wide range of woodworking and DIY projects. There are many other clamps available in the GSCC series ranging in size from 6 in. to 36 in. clamping capacity.
I like big clamps and I cannot lie. You other SDers can't deny. That when a clamp walks in with an itty bitty grip, with a low price in your feed, you get sprung!
If you're referring to woodworking, bad idea.
Applying excessive clamping pressure causes too much glue to squeeze out and therefor the joint will be weak. You could also damage the workpiece.
Grip tape, from hockey, baseball or skateboarding. Jorgensen should be similar deal at Lowe's if it is like last year.

Clamps are good but the handles are cheap; hard to grip.
Looks like these have a wooden handle. Haven't tried it yet, but I've seen a tip that you can drill and glue a hex bolt into the end of the handle, which allows you to use an impact driver to tighten these when hand strength isn't sufficient.
Bar clamps are good for a quick clamp, with light-weight force. If you're invested, some pipe clamps are good options as well especially since the distance between the clamp jaws is only limited by the length of pipe you have.
Bought a few of these last year and was happy with them. Also bought a few of the HF version and was unhappy with those, the new ones twist. ( Was using them for laminating long pieces of half to one inch thick boards.)

I think the 6" clamp is going to really limited, maybe useful on 50% of the times I'd use these clamps.
I have these in 12s and 24s and I like them. Handles are adequate for me for woodworking. I've lost a red rubber end cap (or two) over the years but that is more my fault.

Agree with the hockey tape wrap for these. I've got a ton of clamps, wrapped them all with hockey tape from Academy sports. Game changer.
