Great for frames and small boxes

Requires a little adjustment but works better than any of the many clips I've tried on frames and small boxes. I wish I had bought this particular clamp 3 years ago.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Frame clip without disappointment.

Great work! And no damage to the corners of the frame. My project was quite long, I had to use two poles on the long sides and the connectors were easy to install. Quality all-metal construction.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • A few little things

What can I say? It's a clip...just what I wanted

It's durable, easy to use, arrived very quickly and in perfect condition. There is literally nothing to like. As such, this is a great product marketed by a great company. Very grateful! Thanks very much!

Pros
  • It's amazing
Cons
  • Useless features

Good product at a good price.

I like that this clip can be expanded to a very large size for the price. However, I think I would have preferred that the center clamp connecting the two bars was longer to add more stability.

Great buy on power and hand tools

Item works fantastic, only problem is that if you have a shaped edge on the frame (cut to shape) that isn't flat you need to think a bit to prevent that it slips off the frame but it works great, I even picked up a pack of wing nuts to use in place of the wing nuts sometimes. I did a few shots with him and everything turned out fantastic.

Pros
  • Happy so far
Cons
  • Concise instructions

Fits small frames but requires additional adjustments

Clamps work very well. I tried a dry fit first and found that the bare aluminum corners were not very sensitive to the wood finish unless hardwoods were used. I glued extra cork padding into the corner blocks and it worked really well. However, the size of the corner blocks is small. So far I have clamped frames up to 24 inches. I'm not sure if this size is enough for large frames.

Pros
  • CREATE DIFFERENT SIZES: Fits frames from 2" x 2" (5.1 cm x 5.1 cm) to 48" x 48" (121.9 cm). x 121.9 cm) (using included threaded rod couplers/connection blocks); 1 bar = 24 inches; Easily clamps all types of frames and works best on square (circumference to back) frames, cabinets or any rectangular or box shape that will be glued together; The unfolded length of the parts to be joined depends on what thread they are screwed into the sleeve with
Cons
  • Expensive

Cannot be used with 45 degree corner joints without spacers.

There is a round coined slot just off the inside corners that prevents the frame from aligning 45 degree cuts. One of the boards in the corner slides into the relief, but the other cannot. There may be a reason for this relief, but it makes the tool very difficult for me. I cut out four pieces of very thin cutting board mat and folded them at the corners to hide the relief, it worked well. In addition, it is very durable. I cut four sticks in half because I collect smaller boxes.

Pros
  • EASY TO USE: By measuring diagonals you can make adjustments to align things; 4 poles can be used to clamp anything smaller than 23.5" x 23.5" (59.7cm x 59.7cm); Can use 8 sticks (4 sets of 2 sticks connected with a brass connector) to connect anything 25.75" x 25.75" (65.4cm x 65.4cm) and over clamp You can also mix these two elements to get any rectangular size in between.
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options

Works great - easy to use.

Used it the first day I showed up . I wanted something to glue the corner joints together. Larger clamps were difficult to use because of their size and weight; especially with thinner castings. This tool also allows you to tighten the joint for a snug fit, rather than just holding it in place like some clamps. Also, aligning the beveled parts works very well to ensure the build is square. You just go around and loosen and tighten the 4 nuts on the corners to pull in the direction you want. At…

Pros
  • CONTENTS: Kit includes (8) 24" bars, (4) sleeve extensions, (4) knurled nuts, and (4) angle brackets
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
