Would these work better than binder clips?

I use clamps from my workshop to hold down my long rulers on my cutting table to cut batting and trim completed quilts. They're very sturdy as they're metal and have rubber covers on the portion that touches the fabric. It takes both my hands at times to open them to clamp over so that tells you just how strong they are. They're called spring clamps and this page on Harbor Freight shows the 2 types I have.

These are on sale at harbor freight right ( tool store) now for 1.99.
For sandwiching a quilt on a table for basting most people use large binder clips.
My husband suggested these ( he had some in his shed) because you can adjust them
a great deal for size.
I was thinking about going to get some of them. I tried one out on my table and they hold very securely and lock and unlock.
What do you think?
