Every day, I clinch OH-562 twice, once on the way to work and once on the way home. It's only about 2 1/2 miles, so it's easily done.
Anyone else have a daily clinch? How long is yours?
Neither of these are current but the only daily commute clinches that I ever had were AZ 51 and FL 551. As of the moment I don't really have a daily commute per se, granted a lot out of town work travel does include regularly clinching state highways and county routes in California.
For about 5 years, I would clinch CT 120 in both directions (it's only 3.1 miles long).
I used to clinch NY 335 daily, but I moved and my commute changed.
I almost clinch I-184 twice a day. But, I get off at the Fairview exit, which is basically part of the interchange where it ends, but I don't clinch it. I used to though, before I realized Fairview is usually faster (especially in the morning/eastbound).
If I wanted, I could clinch either KY 498 or KY 1144 on my way to or from work.
Not at the moment, but there were times during my childhood when I would clinch NY 101 or Nassau CR 15 on a daily basis.
Yes. I clinch M-17 from Ypsilanti to just outside Ann Arbor every day.
For a few weeks, I'd clinch I-296 daily on the way to work.
For about eight years I clinched VA-401 almost every morning on the way to work (took a different route home in the afternoons). That ended when I stopped working downtown. I now work downtown again at a different location but I don't get pretax parking, so most days we don't drive and when we do we usually go a different way.
The closest I can really claim was that semester in college where I was commuting to class from home. The fastest route involved driving the entire length of the Cross County Parkway. Of course, I frequently would take a different route home to mix things up. And I only made this commute four days a week.
At my old job i would clinch Florida SR224( Kingsley Ave) in Orange Park almost every day

For a while back about 2003-04 I was commuting between my home in Anaheim and my work in Ontario; to avoid the bi-directional problems on both CA 57 and CA 91 I'd clinch CA 142 (contraflow!) between Placentia and Chino Hills at least 3 days per week. This lasted until I tired of the commute (and ever-increasing Anaheim rent) and moved out to Redlands.
For a semester or two when I studied at Des Moines Area Community College in Ankeny, I used to clinch IA-160 occasionally, as I'd go buy groceries after class - supermarket was at the west end of 160, and to get home I needed to travel to the east end at I-35.
I used to daily-clinch the "true" MN 101 from Rogers to Elk River when I was in grade school.
I used to have a weekly clinch, which was Maryland Route 646 every Saturday.
Forgot that I used to clinch I-535 every morning as well when I lived in Superior, WI and worked in Duluth, MN. Shortest commute I've ever had -- I lived right on Hammond Ave and worked on Michigan St on the western end of downtown Duluth. No rush hour traffic whatsoever up there.
When I lived in Harrisburg and was taking classes at the Penn State campus near the airport, I'd cover the entire length of I-283 at least once a day if not more. I'd also include the Airport Connector, but by exiting at PA 230 and not traversing the overpass to the airport, I think that falls short of a "clinch" .

What, you mean you didn't teleport to the other two remaining disconnected segments? :-D
When working for the MPO in Buffalo, there were quite a few days I daily clinched NY 198 or NY 400 depending on where we were doing counts. Also daily clinched NY 270 a few times.
Not on my commute, but I clinch both NY 377 and NY 378 pretty often. 378 is typically the easiest way to get between Troy and the Colonie Center area and 377 allows me to bypass evening rush traffic heading home if I'm coming from the southwest.
It's not even close to daily, but I do teach skiing at Royal Mountain in Caroga Lake on Saturdays during the winter. The ride there includes clinching New York 10A.
Before the Exit 26 bridge opened, I used to clinch New York 103 pretty much daily during my commute to college.
Now, it's not part of my daily commute, but when I don't take the Thruway between 27 and 26 to get to or from work or whatever else I'm doing out that way, I clinch New York 890.
I clinched I-190 from Leominster to Worcester MA southbound everyday going to work when I lived in Fitchburg. Going home I got on a bit north of 290 so didn't clinch the northbound portion with any frequency.
I clinch County P in Menasha, WI, every day to and from work. It's about 2 1/2 miles long.
On a related note, they recently removed the traffic lights at P and AP; these lights had been there since spring 2015 because of increased traffic due to construction. Lights on both sides of the nearby County AP/US 10 interchange were also removed.
Before I moved to Florida, my daily commute included a daily clinch of unsigned MD 995, all 1/2 mile of it.
Pretty easy for me to clinch NY 403, although the commute that allows it is far from daily, and even if it were, there's a more direct route I almost always use instead.

For 10 years starting with Junior High and lasting through college I would clinch the Vine Expressway (PA side off I-676) every weekday. Of course I was never driving when this was happening.
Nowadays my commute takes me through the entirety of the NJ 42 freeway (that is the freeway portion of NJ 42, not the portion of I-76 popularly called that) and all but the eastern 7 miles of the Atlantic City Expressway. In the summers I go swimming in Atlantic City during lunch once a week which takes me closer to a weekly clinch of the ACE, but I still use Exit 2, so not entirely.
Living on Kauai back in the 1980s, I would clinch Kauai County 520 (Maluhia Road through the tree tunnel) to and from work.
Have clinched CA-255 a couple times now, including last night. Actually makes a decent alternative between Eureka and Arcata because of its higher speed limit.
During the past summer, I clinched Waterloo RR 54 (Lackner Blvd) every morning. I still clinch this road every week or two (if I need gas on the way home from work).
For the winter term of 2015, I had a monthly clinch of Hwy 85 (going to Elmira and back).
