Makes cabinet installation easy, quick and beautiful.

I am installing a new kitchen in a new rectory at a church I attend. The pastor's wife wanted shaker cabinets, which in my experience show any misalignment worse than any other style. Ordered this after seeing it on You Tube and used it to install cabinets. Perfect alignment, very quick assembly and the cabinets look really great! Would recommend to anyone who needs to install closets.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly torn

This made installing our closet a lot easier!

If you're installing a lot of cabinets, you need these clips! They saved our lives by installing all the new cabinets. Works like a charm and is very easy to use. One thing I didn't like was the orange paint peeling off the cabinets towards the end of work, but it was sanded lightly and you never noticed. I'm not sure how that even happened as we used the felt pads that came with it. Highly recommended!

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Some problems

I bought this to install new cabinets and it worked on about half the cabinets I wanted to put together. The design of the cabinets did not allow connecting a corner cabinet with a standard one. It's not a flaw in the bangs design, but there just wasn't the right lip on the face frame to allow for those clamps to be used. However, it has worked great on standard cases and the clips are definitely well done. Still worth buying. It was really handy.

Pros
  • beautiful thing
Cons
  • There are even more interesting options.

Pony Clips - Great Value

As a homeowner and avid DIY enthusiast I have found them to be well constructed, durable and easy to use. I only have one suggestion. Pilot holes have a guide to start the hole before using a larger countersink bit. This guide has a small ball bearing for centering, but not really. You have to be a little more careful to make sure it's centered. I marked the clip and guide to make sure they are centered every time before using the starter bit. Also, the countersink didn't go all the way into…

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Requires Socket

Required Clamps for Kitchen Cabinet Installation

If you consider these clamps you can be assured that they work fairly well and there really are no other products of this type on the market that I know of. They even come with a drill. I've used mine about two dozen times now and always with great results. I think these clips are one of the little trade secrets in making kitchen cabinets. You simply align the face frames, position both clips where you want them, then drill a pilot hole using the guide built into the clip. Then rotate the rail…

Pros
  • C Clamps
Cons
  • Price

A MUST, but not at this price

These pony closet claws are just perfect. There is nothing more to say about them! They made installing my closet a breeze BUT I couldn't help but notice that Menard has the same pony claws for $59.98. The only difference I can tell is that they have a "vise" type bolt handle, while the 8510 in Menards has a different handle, more like a bike handle, and they are painted orange instead of pure aluminum. . Otherwise there is no difference. Honestly, there's no need to squeeze them like a vise…

Pros
  • Tools and Housewares
Cons
  • A few little things

Don't install cabinets without these

I went crazy thinking I could install my new kitchen cabinets myself. Counting 23, 23 total. I made some mistakes but overall I'm happy and they look good and I'm pretty sure they won't fall off the walls. Not soon. The pros say the best way is to align, weigh, and nail the closets together, then lift and hang them as a unit. This works well if you have crafty helpers or an electric cabinet lift. I didn't have either, so I hung them individually using a helper, a set of pony clips, and a t-jak.

Pros
  • clips
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other picks
