The Harbor Freight ones are garbage. I have a bunch of them and a handful of the Irwin clamps. I always go for the Irwin ones when I need to do something. The Harbor Freight ones bend and don't hold nearly as well. I'm all for buying cheaper/generic versions of tools but in the case of these style clamps, there's no comparison.
Why would you want this? The general idea, yes, I own some. But the length of the bar has little effect on the cost, why would I want to buy such short ones?
I own various kinds and sizes of clamps as I do some woodworking. Generally I choose the shortest clamp that can do the job I need. I started with the longer clams as they can be used in more scenarios, but gradually added shorter ones as they are way more convenient. These particular ones I use a lot as hold-downs in my table that has 3/4 inch holes.
Agree the Bremen versions are excellent. The regular HF versions are several steps below terrible
So for a light user, would you get the HF Bremen or this one?
Or does it really make a difference? Might get a 15-20% coupon discount at HF, but these are delivered to my door (and 5% off for my Amazon card).
But in all truthfulness, the cheap Pittsburg would probably do what I need. This style is what I currently use once every year or so for stuff:

not sure how this is a great (or good deal) it was only yesterday when there was a three or four pack of these "larger" bar clamps that also included the smaller set of hand clamps
Those are about 100-150 pounds of force whereas this Irwin is 300. The Breman from harbor freight is 375 pounds and is a closer comparison - also sells at $8.99 for the 6in
Bremen are 30% off this weekend so you can buy a 24" Bremen for the same price as one of these Irwin's

I've picked up four of the Irwin clamps on clearance the last couple weeks for $15 each. Best clamps I've ever had. QUICK-GRIP 24-in Hybrid Clamps 300-lb Trigger / Bar Clamp https://www.lowes.com/pd/IRWIN-Qu...5014467931
