Kreg Classic Face Clamp 76mm/3" Blue

Expensive but very strong clamp

Cheaply made but rugged and functional when used with pocket hole jigs. A very useful addition to the kreg r3. Speeded up production no end. Besides you can never have too many clamps of any size.Fast delivery.

Being a kitchen fitter I already use ratchet type clamps to hold cabinets together before finally fixing. But these usually require re-adjusting each time before they are used, the Kreg KHC-PREMIUM face clamp only needs to be adjusted once and can therefore be used quicker each time when needed, (ie, release and clamp again straightaway!). In an average kitchen install (10-20 cabinet units) would result in a faster installation for yourself and for your customers? My only concern arises when fixing end decor panels to wall or base units, my thoughts are that an additional soft rubber face to the internal faces of the clamp feet would be benificial to avoid damage caused by over tightening of the adjusting mechanisem (this is something which can easily happen when dealing with various construction materials of cabinets). Alternativley a small spreader panel could be used to spread the clamping area and avoid any chance of damage to the cabinet surfaces. I myself have fitted rubber faces to the inner surfaces of the clamp feet and now have the ultimate clamp which I can use with complete safety. I'll be buying some more to add to my tool collection.

Bought to use with a Kreg Pocket Hole Jig. It is sturdily made and grips very well without damage to the work. My only grumble is that the release lever is a bit awkward to operate, else a very useful tool.

This clamp works well on its own or with the Kreg tool. The Kreg pocket hole tool clips into this face clamp, which may not sound that important but saves a great deal of time when drilling pocket holes.If you are looking at buying your first pocket hole jig and are unsure if you should also buy this clamp, just remember a simple table put together with Kreg pocket holes uses at least 22 pocket holes! This tool will be used more often than your pocket hole tool- its worth getting.

Bought kreg because American hardware reputation. So what does it say on the handle,made in china.not impressed with the cushion grips keeps sliding off. Bit dear but handy to have. Yes I would by another just for ease of use

Essential for the kreg pocket hole tool

but it's not! this is a fantastic clamp. I wouldn't change it for anything else. Intuitive to use, very strong, and effective. I have been very pleased with it and have ordered more.
