Smaller than the Makita version

They are slightly smaller in base size and overall handle length but they seem less likely to break. The Makita clamp ripped at the elbow because the clamp was too tight and I feel like I have to use tremendous force to remove it. In most situations, this tightness isn't necessary, and I highly recommend using something else if you need more than light to moderate tightening.

Good quality saw blades, parts and accessories

I bought these to use with my Kreg Adaptive Chainsaw and they fit perfectly. I also chose these because they look like they will last a lifetime (minus the replaceable plastic tip). Those are very good brackets. By the way, you don't need a lot of clamping force to clamp the track saw rail. Anyway, these clips have many uses and I think this is a good set of clips. I would buy them again.

Works great with Kreg ACS / Track Saw

These are great clips for the money; Well actually I think they're just great clamps in that regard. They will be great and hold the material and chainsaw guide very well. I recently got my Kreg ACS/Tracksaw system and can confirm that they fit the 3/4" dog holes used on this system and also fit the bottom of the Kreg tracks. So if you have the same system these are great bench clamps.

CAREFULLY! Installation Dewalt

Received two clamps today and tested to see if they fit the factory Dewalt guide. Both required an additional tray to allow them to slide fully in and out of the track. On the first test, the hook/horizontal end easily entered the curved part between the horizontal and vertical parts of the clip. To ensure full insertion from the end of the rail to the beginning, the curve had to be thinned on both sides. While the pitch wasn't that bad, 10 minutes or so, it's not what I would call Dewalt…

Works with POWERTEC 71387 55 " Guide Rail Connector Kit

x8'. Since I saved money buying cheaper tracks I thought it would be a good idea to get high quality clips. I didn't like the idea of having clamps with a bunch of plastic parts, so I went with these Powertec clamps. I just cut 6 sheets of MDF from 4' x 8' and had no problems with these clips. They are easy to adjust and perfectly match Powertec chains. They clamped the splints in place and wouldn't budge after making over 30 cuts. I didn't feel the need to babysit them while they shuffled back
