Customer Reviews:

Great deal on a very useful clamp set [Posted on 2007-09-15]
I got a couple of these sets to use as a clamping platform and they do that perfectly. The sets can be split into two clamps each for when you need individual cutting guides. They clamp very tightly and do not deflect.

Great Clamps [Posted on 2007-10-02]
Anyone who has ever needed a straight edge clamped to their work to guide their cutting with a power hand saw will love this item. Regardless if you use as a cutting guide, straight edge for marking, or a clamp, this product is excellent. Precision engineering and top quality manufacturing make this an outstanding addition to any workshop. Tip: If you purchase the Back-To-Back clamp you get 2 identical clamps held together with adapters. Remove the adapters and you have 2 clamps (best way to buy and save money). Purchased both the 37 inch and the 50 inch Back-To-Back models plus the 100 inch ultra-wide (a really heavy-duty model) for 8 foot paneling/plywood/etc. Received the 100 inch with a broken piece. Called Woodline and they immediately shipped replacement parts. Excellent product and company.

Good Product - Bad Seller - Damaged Goods Everytime! [Posted on 2008-02-08]
Three times this product arrived with damaged or missing parts. It was obviously opened, used, and poorly resealed. Detachable parts were loose. Attached plastic parts were broken. Anodizing was chewed up in places. No insulative packaging whatsoever. Stay away from this dealer.

I bought two, both as described above. I shipped them back for a replacement. The replacement was the same as above. Finally I requested a refund.

I eventually bought them outside of Amazon from Peachtree Woodworking. Completely different experience. All parts were attached and intact. Product was packaged with cushioning and shrink wrapped like new.

This review is for the 50" clamps. I have also bought the 36" clamps from Woodline. These arrived with minor damage and the detachable parts were loose.

Solid and Broken [Posted on 2008-03-15]
My shipment arrived poorly packaged and one clamp is broken. After reading the comment above I decided to go straight for a refund and skip the "fun."

Buy these clamps at your own risk.

Also, the T-track doesn't accept the T-track bolts I have for other jig and fixture assemblies, bolts as sold by Lee Valley.

You are buying only one set of clamps [Posted on 2008-03-16]
Even though the picture shows two sets of clamps, you are actually buying only one set of clamps. This makes the cost of the full set of clamps very expensive. You can do better buying regular clamps from your local hardware store. Misleading Image.
