Great Clamping!: Hand tool

I didn't know what to expect when I bought this, but I knew I sometimes have problems with bouncing boards when installing the first blind hole screw. It seemed like a cure for that, so I bought it. I just used it for the first time and it worked great! I was impressed with how tight it held the joint together. Another great product from WEN!

Pros
  • Ergonomic soft-grip handles feature a quick-release lever for easy release of clamping force
Cons
  • Boring packaging

Not your father's Wen

Wen wasn't known for making the best tools, but that seems to have changed. This is a good product, the packaging was even good! Sturdy, well made and finished. Comes clean, not coated in grease like some cheap ones. All the important parts look great, work and are built great. Saved $10 over the Kreg clamp. One star deducted because the rivets at the clamp attachment points were sharp and needed smoothing out. Recommended, I would buy again.

Pros
  • Pivoting scratch-resistant pressure plates distribute force evenly across work pieces
Cons
  • Lack of productivity

Poor quality - returned after 1 day or use

Bought because of the overall good reviews and cheaper than the original Kreg corner clamp. It didn't fit me at all - the end of the yoke entering the pocket holes wasn't flat but had a protrusion in the middle - it looks like very cheap forging. The angle of the clamp was also wrong - I've tried it on several pieces and every time the clamp slipped it would in many cases damage the edges of the pocket holes where it would rip out a bit of ore on the edge of the pocket hole that had slippedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Keep holes secure and square at 90 degrees during project build
Cons
  • Not sure
