I used to put in screw clamps instead of the spring clamps because of
the difficulty in removing and installing them in tight spaces.
Now that I have the proper tool, I'm sticking with spring clamps because
they leak less.
I want to thank whatever list member it was who recommended the
Craftsman pliers # 9-47390. About $40 I believe.
