Review on Sturdy and Versatile: Shop Fox D2804 Aluminum C Clamp for All Your Clamping Needs by Jonathan Unruh

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The manufacturer was not harmed.

Like this C-Clip Deep Throat will do what I wanted to do with it: I'll fix a crack in the body of the guitar, tape off the bridge on the acoustic guitar and fix the cracked brace on another acoustic guitar. Dislikes: the manufacturer, it seems. couldn't get the clip out of the mold fast enough and throw it at the door. Constructed from cast aluminum, not the slightest effort was expended to trim or deburr the casting. The manufacturer is either unaware or doesn't care that simply removing the casting burrs caused by mold seams significantly reduces the load on the tool. It also gives the impression that the tool was made by a conscientious professional. 12 year old child. I may need another one of these clamps, but next time I know it's going to take a few hours of work to finish something the manufacturer didn't bother to do.

Pros
  • Best in the Niche
