A MUST [Posted on 2001-07-03]
Since I purchased a set of Miter Clamps I have never looked back. They are an absolute must for any body doing base board, crown moulding shoe moulding etc. They are perfect for finished work, just glue and clamp no nails necessary. I have recommended Miter Clamps to anybody I know in the same scope of work as me. From my recommendations to the rest of the people in my company several have purchased the clamps and have found them a hugh success. There are other brands on the market, but trust me "Ulmia 560-3250 miter Clamp" are the best!

They Have a Point -- Literally! [Posted on 2002-07-31]
I did quite a bit of research looking for a clamping system for picture frames. Time and again I came back to Ulmia and decided to give them a try. They look good but simply do not work on the woods I tested them on: maple, oak, pine, purple heart and cherry. The springs have nail-sharp points on them that, when clamped with the lightest pressure I could and still hold the mitre, punched varying holes and gouges in the wood. I even tried one on the nice wooden box they were shipped in and it dug into the side. (Did the return department notice that?)

I'm not sure what application one would use where gouging the wood is an acceptable part of clamping. For me, the Ulmia design is "Duh!" What do you get when you press sharp, hardened steel into wood? I should have figured that one out before wasting the time buying and returning it.

Great clamp set [Posted on 2005-09-27]
This miter clamp set is a one of a kind gettup that is well suited for it's duty. It does the job as it's supposed to and aids it setting the perfect miter. The only thing I would like to see are a set of clamps that are closer together for smaller miters on base mouldings. All in all, this set is well worth the money if you plan on doing a large project.

invaluable clamps [Posted on 2006-02-17]
The clamps are great for gluing miters. Ulmia also offers a finger style clamp which is great for smaller tasks and requires no spreader. To the reviewer that was so upset about the points. In the past if I have to clamp something that I don't want holes in I use a sacrificial skin (door skin or MDF) on the clamping surface. I have used them for years and couldn't imagine not having them.

Great for trim work [Posted on 2006-02-25]
Nice for large trim jobs and crown returns, and if you angle the clip with the grain you can swell the dents out of bright work.
