The major difference between this and Kreg's original version (still available) is the handle padding, though this version does away with the inner vice-grip release lever also (it's not really necessary). For the same money, you might as well buy these for the extra comfort, particularly if you are doing a lot of carcasses. As I said in my review of the original, there is simply no substitute for these, and they work exceptionally well.

Kreg RAC Right Angle Clamp

I just bought a K2 jig and both the KHC RAC right angle clamp and the KHC premium face clamp. I built a cabinet today using all three Kreg products. I am very impressed. Construction was very fast and accurate.

The RAC made it very easy to attach a solid wood edging to the plywood top and attaching the sides to the top. In fact a couple times I thought it would be nice to have 2.

The KHC made the face frame assembly quick and easy. The joints separated slightly while driving the screw but pulled together well and stayed flush.

It has been a long time since I have been this pleased with a tool. The Kreg system is going to change how I assemble projects.

I have always loved Kreg products, and this little item is something I was waiting a long time for them to offer. (I built my own pair long before they started selling them). There are two things wrong with this clamp.
1. The adjust screw is badly machined and binds.
2. The rubber handles are too big and tend to turn and slip when applying pressure.

For it's intended use,, it works great.

I bought this with the Kreg Jr. pocket hole kit, and used it to build a set of shelves for my closet. I gutted my closet and started over with painted particle board, and built a new organization system. The pocket hole kit as well as this clamp are a very nice combination, and really met my needs. In just loose fitting it together, I measured and everything was in-square and ready to be tightened down. I think you could probably use the kit without this clamp, but it sure makes it faster, and you don't have to worry about your work jumping around as you drive the screws. The only recommendation I would make is to put a piece of painter's tape over the part of the jaw that comes in contact with any of your work.

I built half my project without the use of this clamp using the Kreg system. Then I received this clamp and finished it. I wish I would not have even started the project without this clamp because it makes it so much easier.

I bought two of these right angle clamps and they work great. I use both clamps to line up my work piece and then start attaching the frames with the screws. By using two I get a straight line.

To me, this is an absolute necessity when using with the Kreg jig. The standard flat clamp that comes with the set works great to keep the tops aligned, but this clamp keeps the pieces tightly together when putting in the screw. This is especially true with harder wood.

Makes putting right angles together a snap with the kreg pocket hole system. It is a well made product that should last for a while. A must for any kreg jig owner. I love mine and you will love yours too!

There are a lot of vise type camps you can get on the cheap and these DO NOT fall into that category but you get what you pay for and these are top notch! They quality is excellent! How ever these are only really useful with pocket joining as the one side is just a post that fits nicely into the hole made when doing pocket joints. It can be used with other things but the one side is only about 5/16" diameter so keep that in mind. With that said, when using them for pocket joining they are great at! Not only do they serve practically as a second set of hands but unlike other clams they attach exactly where you want them and hold exactly they way you want.

This clamp does speed up assembly by holding the material where you want it. it is easy to use, and works!
