Review on πŸ”§ The Ultimate Collins Miter Spring Pliers Clamps: Efficient Woodworking Tools for Precise Miter Joints by Dan Chunn

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ideal for gluing beveled corners

Love this staple set! I've tried for years to join beveled corners with wood glue, tape, or nails. The tape never held the pieces together tight enough, and nailing before the wood was dry always resulted in the two pieces shifting and failing. These feather clips are perfect! They fasten the corners firmly and securely. Wood glue hardens perfectly, the seam is nice and tight. Then I sew the pieces together without shifting or moving. The only downside is that the clamps have to cut into the wood on each side where they clamp. It's no bigger than a nail hole, though, and can be easily touched up when you're ready to paint. I am 100% convinced of that.

Pros
  • Sharp point pierces through wood without cutting through wood fibers compared to a corner cut
Cons
  • Expensive
