2.0 out of 5 stars Not the answer to corner clamping needs, March 13, 2001

Frankly this clamp is not up to the quality one expects from bessey. Sure it is built like a tank. It does create a pretty good 90% angle joint, the problem I have is that it really doesn't work at all in a lot of cases. I found better solutions with strap clamps and k-body clamps in sets for cabinetry. I think I have used this clamp less than a dozen times in the past two years. Anyone want one slightly used -- cheap.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great clamp for projects/mending., June 18, 2000

I found this clamp to be akward with loose pieces, but its the perfect tool for mending picture frames that need repair. Its biggest advantage is that it ensures that you will keep a true 90 degree angle after you've clamped your work...no need for additional measuring.

These angle clamps are great! Easy one handed operation allows you to hold your stock while tighteing the clamp. There are also slots that allow access to the ends for drilling, doweling, whatever, while the joint is gluing. These are great for frames and panel doors!
