It is another case of "not as good as it used to be, but better than it will be". Their product has waned in quality and robustness in recent years, including the dreaded "Made in China" embossing.
Look for older stock or used stuff. Their parallel clamps have still been good but the F clamps have become very bendy. The continued sales must be the import stuff they can still source.
I looked out the window of the Chicago Northwestern commuter train many times to see the Adjustable Clamp Company sign; hard by the tracks, and looking not very prosperous in recent years.

Sad indeed. I have some of the Jorgie parallel clamps. Built like tanks. And some of the Pony f-clamps (USA made).
Still Learning,
