One seldom has enough clamps around the shop for a major glue-up. If the surfaces are wide it's difficult to get the clamping pressure where needed.

They are particularly useful when gluing curved laminations or other situations where conventional clamps can't reach. - Richard Luntz, Custer, South Dakota
