Not bad for what it is. For what you pay for it, you can't expect much though. The medal is die-cast. For example, this device doesn't require a lot of pressure, it really tightens the material. I would say just clamp the clamp and you're done. I use it for picture frames. I found that once the frame was in place in this jig. I can flatten the project and then put it back together. I had a photo I wanted to attach, but Revain removed that feature. But for what you pay and depending on how easy or difficult your project is. I would recommend it. This device is better than trying to hold, level, glue and nail a project without it. This is useful if you have it in your lights. At least it's better than nothing.
