is worth its weight in gold

I got this a few months ago, not sure when I'll be using it. Today I experimented with making a large (14" x 18") box with a dovetail mount that I recently received. Despite warnings about using unwarped wood, I went with cheap white wood as it was my first try. DAS was a big mistake as it seemed almost impossible to tighten the joints around the entire edge. Then I remembered this little device. I tied it to one end and snapped it down and that corner folded like magic. I attached a clip toโ€ฆ

Pros
  • brackets
Cons
  • there are flaws

Retractable strap + hand ratchet = WIN

Great tool! Although I've had it not long ago so tested it for durability, this is a solid product. I'm studying to be an industrial designer so I've built an education in well and it seems like it's tough and something that will stand the test of time. A win for the longevity of the construction! The retractable tape measure-like feature allows for easy taping without Dr. Octavius or any other pair of hands. One-handed clamps like the Irwin Quik-Clamps are a godsend and make tightening easier.

Pros
  • Quick release strap and case for the strap to protect it and not twist it
Cons
  • disappear

Wolfcraft One-Handed Clamp

Having used the Wolfcraft One-Handed Clamp that I purchased through Revain.com a few months ago, my experience with this clamp was so positive that I recently bought another one. Clamp for use with the first. Compared to standard band clamps, the Wolfcraft clamp is much easier to install and tighten. The clamp has substantial feel and weight and feels solid when clamped in place. The clamping pressure is definitely more than enough for my box making projects. With the clip in one hand, I canโ€ฆ

Pros
  • 16ft strap for all common projects
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

A must have for woodworkers (buy another brand though)

I was tossing and turning between this model and the more expensive Bessy tape clips. I thought I could get 2 of these for the price of a Bessie clip. I'm making 12 beveled display cases and wanted to avoid nailing them down (that's 24 glue if you count). I'm on my last glue and I highly recommend these clips. Very well made, the price is around $14 each. If you doubt this purchase, you will not regret it. If you are looking for application tips, read on. It may seem quite cumbersome, but theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Self Adjusting Angle Brackets
Cons
  • No Instructions
