Not for precision photo frames

Cannot load media. The picture frame displayed requires precise connections. These clamps will not accurately align a 90 degree connection. - Raise clamp on one side: Using a precision cut and a verified 90 degree joint, I checked the clamps. The central part of the clamp is designed to be free and move in all directions. The consequence is that when pressed on the workpiece, it tends to lift the side, resulting in a misaligned joint or gap on one side. Check out the attached video showing this issue. The image below also shows how far from a perfect 90 degree cut after using the clamps - BOTTOM SURFACES ARE UNEQUAL: Second, the bottom surfaces are flat and not aligned. A straight edge on one side will bump up against it when moving to the opposite bottom surface and show a small difference, and again this small amount will result in the joint not fitting properly. -- FOR LARGE FRAMES OVER 22" ONLY. These are large clips and if 2 of these are used the picture frame must be at least 22" wide. On shorter frames, the center handles interfere with each other. See the attached image for an example. - GOOD LARGE HANDLES: The handles for tightening the screws and clamping the frame are large and allow for good one-handed torque. Conclusion: At first I thought I made a mistake and went with metalworking or carpentry clamps as they only allow for rough alignment. You would be perfect for the job.
