Leakyroof: will be back in a few days with initial findings.
I started by misplacing the bag with the clamps as I had no recollection of bringing them from the car but I did remember taking out the trash

and for a while I thought I had tossed them out the first thing I did. Then I realized I had put the clamps in a grocery bag and the groceries are in the fridge so sheer logic tells me the clamps made it home. Probably put them in a workbag so need to go down to the basement and start rummaging through some bags and find them. That's what happens when your are neck deep in a project and switch off your brain.

I am very sceptical about anything with moving parts being subjected to excess glue - especially internal parts...
For my intended (general) use I think they will be fine. I am hoping I won't be able to answer that question! But I will see if they can be taken apart for a clean up if it would come to that.
First up will be a strength test, they will perform as grips for lifting up a very large mdf carcass into a waist high opening in a wall. Cabinet is about 170cm high by 158cm wide and 40cm deep with a 16mm mdf back board - so quite heavy and with only a few mm to spare in the opening. Last time I did this lift by myself I came very close to not making it - as I committed to the lift and could no longer place it back down safely I realized I could not see ANYTHING except the interior of the cabinet and had only 2mm on either side, top and bottom for clearance. I was lucky I got it in place on the first try... ...yesterday when I had to lift up a 25mm mdf sheet and place it down on the format saw I did realize I am past my prime when it comes to lifting heavy sheet goods
