Welding. It gets the clamp up and out of your way.

Also clamping into recesses. Just imagine needing to clamp flat stock onto the back of some C channel, whether you're welding them together or drilling and/or tapping threads and need them to stay lined up.

These generally work best in pairs or more since the points of contact are so small. And they have a small learning curve how to get them really tight. I usually get them fairly tight while closed onto the objects I'm trying to clamp, then open them, tighten 1/4 or so turn, then close them again. Another method is using a hex/Allen key or bit (on an impact driver even) to tighten them while closed.

Think of it being useful anywhere you could or would use a small normal C-clamp but don't need that much force and might need to put it on and take it off more quickly or one handed.

It looks useful, but I have no idea in what situation this can be used. I love IRWIN tools, they are good in quality!

I had a garage door motor break on me a few years ago. I used one of these to manually lock it.

Great for clamping metal down. Also useful on wood if you use sacrificial pieces sandwiched in.

I find the ones with the swivel pads SO MUCH MORE USEFUL! The hard round ends like this clamp always want to slip so I pretty much never use them.

If you do most things at your house DIY, you'll find a use, if you don't already have a bunch of clamps, and as others have said, it's what you need in certain situations where regular clamps don't work.

Great for compressing calipers if you're doing your own brakes!
