Rating: 1 (out of 5)
Summary: I'd rate it higher however THEY ran out
Comments: I got the Kreg Jig for my birhtday, I really could have used the Kreg RAC however the folks who I was going to purchase it from ran out. I know that IF I ever get my hands on this product I will give it a solid "FIVE" stars. |

Summary: Kreg clamp
Comments: Well worth the investment!! On advice from others I purchased2for constructing a bath vanity. They held the plywood panels together snugly to counteract the Kreg screws tendency to pull a panel slightly inward. |
Rating: 5 (out of 5)
Summary: No substitute for this tool
Comments: This clamp works flawlessly e time. Conceptually, it's simple. It replaces1of the flats on a normal Kreg clamp with a pin that fits in the pocket hole. Use the clamps in1or more pocket holes while you drive the screws into the others. If you need 100% square accuracy, you can hold a square in place against the joint while you drive the screw.
By the way, you can use these to clamp items that are not flush to1another, e.g., frame reveals, parts with differing thicknesses, and inset panels. Try THAT with a corner clamp!!
To the reviewer that wondered about using pocket holes on the outside of items: In cabinet making, it's the INSIDE of the cabinet that's the concern. The ply or particleboard sides and back of the cabinet are completely hidden for almost all cabinets and virtually always covered on end cabinets.
As to the review that talks about blowing out the pocket hole, the only things that could possibly cause that are drilling too small a pocket (the clamps work perfectly with Kreg drills), clamping so tight as to crush the pocket, or clamping at an extreme angle (the clamp will work at a range of angles, not just 90 degrees). Or perhaps the owner has a defective clamp. In any event, this is a highly unusual complaint, and I have yet to hear from anyone else with this problem. Trust your own judgement, though, go to a demo at a woodworking show or store and try them. |

Summary: Work great when drilling
Comments: I purchased2of these clamps and glad I did. On occasion, I use to hold the wood in place on both ends or at a corner. I can drill a hole, clamp it then drill the other end and/or adjoining board, knowing the boards are going to be precisely in place when I put in the screws. Now its not moving.
The quality is great and will last a long time. It is amazing to me still how well they can hold at a right angle. It really works!!
I easily endorse these and they make the finishing touch just a little easier for me. |
