Not well. On each side, the maximum opening is 3 inches wide, but the jaw only has a 5/8 inch depth. Because they're light, a long 2x4 could put too much strain on them, causing them to bend or break. They're useful as a second set of hands or for putting together small boxes and picture frames. However, I frequently use them when putting together cases, and 3/4-inch plywood can be quite heavy. Of course, I've bent and broken them while working with them. Because the company that makes these has gone out of business, they may become scarce if no one else picks them up and starts producing them.
Each clamp is half a pound in weight. I hope this has been of assistance.
In this order, there are four clamps.
There are no markings on the box or the clamps. However, they've worked well on smaller picture frames.br>

My wife wanted some frames made, so I received a set of four of these clamps as a gift. It had been a long time since I'd done something like this. The clamps were boxed, stored, and forgotten after the frames were finished. After all, they appeared to be a little, well, flimsy, and beneath my cabinetmaker's dignity. br>br>The Kreg Pocket br>br>The Kreg Pocket br>br>The Kreg Pocket b Jig was the one who made a difference. When making quick box and casework, use two of these clamps to hold each 90-degree corner in place. a pocket degree Construction is simple with the hole joint. It takes a little practice to get the clamp in the right spot: To minimize paralax, sight down the clamping face at a mark, clamp lightly, tap to adjust position, clamp firmly. br>br>These simple clamps are great because they are small and stay out of the way, leaving plenty of room for the screws to be installed. Other corner clamps, such as the Bessey WS3 or the Rockler right-angle clamp, are much more difficult to install. system for clamping at an angle They aid in the creation of square connections. They leave no blemishes on the surface. br>br>It's important to note that while they keep a joint square, they don't apply pressure to the glue line; however, if pressure is applied to the glue line using separate bar clamps and then this clamp is tightened, they will hold some pressure on the glue line. br>br>The flaws are intertwined with the positives. Because the clamp is small and light, it isn't very strong. If there is enough room, I use two clamps per joint. The clamp's body is made of metal castings. If you're joining very long, heavy boards, be careful because the weight of the boards, combined with the extreme leverage, can cause the clamp's body to break. (As an illustration, 6-) 2 by 8 foot long boards )br>br>The screw has a standard thread, such as a 1/4-inch. When the clamp is tight, it is more difficult to tighten and loosen the bolt due to its larger diameter. A small lubricant pit on the screw can aid in lubrication, but it can also be messy. The clamp would be larger and heavier if it had an acme thread. The screw-tightening finger lever is also lightweight and bendable. You've gone too far. If you bend the lever, it will tighten; however, it can be straightened. Keep in mind that you're using the clamps as backup hands, not to apply pressure to a glue joint. Tighten it just enough to keep it in place while you place and screw the joint together. br>br>I believe the Adjustable Clamp Company could fine-tune this design to produce the ideal 90-degree angle. a packet of degrees hole clamp by removing the miter slot, strategically strengthening the clamp at the base corner, and replacing the screw treads and finger levers However, I'm not sure I'd like the end result any more than I do this clamp. br>br>Recent changes: br>br> br>After writing this, I read the other reviews and realized how important it is for the buyer to understand what they are purchasing. These are made of lightweight materials. Clamps for making mitered picture frames that are heavy-duty. Heavy clamps will easily destroy the wood used in picture frames because the moldings are generally light and small. These have a light and airy feel to them. It's as if they're an extra pair of hands. They're not like any other clamps for woodworking. They aren't designed to hold glue joints in place on their own. br>br>Making mitered rectangular frames also appears to be the easiest of tasks- Until you've completed at least one, that is. It will then appear difficult until you have completed ten or more and have mastered the techniques. Here are a few of them: br>br>It's best to have four of these clamps when making a rectangular frame. They are not compatible with frames that do not have square corners. Before using any glue or fasteners, double-check that the miters are all flush with the frame clamped in four of these. Check that the moldings are square with one another if they aren't already. It's difficult to clamp the moldings square for many molding patterns. br>br> Typically, the molding flares up at a "spring angle," and no amount of fiddling with the clamps will get them to work. However, if you measure the molding's spring angle, you can make small triangular blocks and use heavy-duty tape to hold them together. double-duty Tape the backs of the moldings together with carpet tape. You'll need eight blocks that are all the same. This will ensure that the molding remains stable in the clamp while also making miter cutting easier. After the frame has been assembled, simply remove the tape with alcohol (not rubbing alcohol). The second trick is that miter saws are rarely perfect, so these clamps are molded with a "saw relief slot. " A back-up clamp is used after the frame has been clamped. (or any other cross-cutting instrument) cut saw- A good tooth set (I like to use a gents saw) can be used to rake through the miter, shaving a small amount from each side of the miter joint. The saw will be guided by the miter. Reposition the molding in the clamp after sawing to ensure an even joint. If it isn't, try re-entering the information. sawing once more It's worth noting, though, that the other joints might need to be adjusted as well. br>br>Glue and pin or spline each joint once the miters are acceptable. If you're not pinning, consider tightening the joints with a band clamp as the glue sets to strengthen them. (A pin is essentially a fine nail inserted into the back of the frame to conceal it. ) )br>br>And there's one more trick. You might be tempted to make a batch of frames that are all the same size, say for a standard photo size. In this case, construct a permanent frame clamping jig from a very flat piece of plywood or MDF that is at least 3/4 inch thick and about 2 inches wider and taller than the mat or picture's finished size. Make a frame and make sure the corners are perfectly aligned. Place the clamped frame on top of the plywood and secure it with two screws per clamp. The clamp body has screw holes that are convenient to use. Because the clamps do not stay in alignment when moved, you will need four for each jig.
I was looking for inexpensive corner brackets to use in frame construction and other small woodworking projects. Many of the less expensive varieties had received poor reviews, so I was losing hope that I would be able to find something that would meet my requirements without breaking the bank. Then I came across these at a local hardware store, which appeared to be of decent quality. I ordered them because they were on sale on Amazon and hoped for the best. br>br>They have a more polished look and feel than most of their low-cost competitors. For instance, instead of being hammered flat, the ends of the screw toggle are rounded off. They still have a small rivet that absorbs all of the screw's clamping force, which is probably the design's weak point. I haven't had any issues with it, but I am aware that I may be exerting too much force with the screw. br>br>The screw's action leaves something to be desired. It takes a lot of turns to re-enter the game. Place the bracket in its proper place. They could have used a coarser thread, allowing the bracket to move further with fewer turns, because it isn't built for strength. That means you'll have less torque, which is probably a good thing considering these are for light jobs.

It works fine, but the clamps are a little difficult to adjust, and the screw clamps don't stay in place very well, wandering off. center. When the clamps have been removed- When you tighten the screw in the center, it becomes jammed, and you must be careful not to strip the threads. You'll have to improvise by holding the screwdrive flat with one thumb while holding down the board with the other hand and tightening it with the other. Oh, and you'll probably need three hands. br>br>In addition, the inner edge of the clamp's flat bottom guide has a 1/8" groove for some reason. The issue is that if you use 1/8" plywood, depending on the exact thickness, the wood may get stuck halfway into the groove at an angle, and the stuck edge will not be properly aligned parallel to the guide. If you use thinner plywood, the board will slide flush into the groove. If the board is thicker than 1/8", it will not fit into the groove. I was working on a project that required 1/8" plywood, which is the sweet spot of sub-flooring thickness. superiority br>br>On the plus side, you can get a good 90o joint once you get your wood pieces to slide in straight.
I used them to clamp loose wooden picture frames I found at garage sales. Apply some wood glue, such as Titebond, to the loose joints of mitered frames, then clamp them on all four sides and tighten evenly to set. br>br>I tried clamping with one or two DeWalt or Irwing clamps on opposite sides, but this isn't a balanced glue job with picture frames. If you don't use all four clamps at the same time, the frame will become out of alignment. This set was reasonably priced and did its job well. This is something I've recommended to my son, who enjoys woodworking as a hobby, and to my neighbor for home improvement projects. br>br>The sellers are a small family business that works hard to provide excellent service. I am pleased to give them my business and to support small family businesses rather than large corporations. I strongly suggest it.
When mocking up or putting things together, I found it to be extremely useful. The clamp is secure, but I think it would be better if it were a little taller. So far, the angle appears to be correct, and there have been no issues.
The product was also not made in the United States, as claimed, but rather in China, and was of poor quality! I sent them back as soon as I got them, and I'll look for the actual clamp I'm looking for from other vendors.
