Kreg KHCCC 90 Degree Corner Clamp - Right Angle - Corner & T-Joint Clamps for Woodworking - Carpentry Tools & Accessories - Holiday Home Improvement Gifts for Him

I already owned a pair of 3” Kreg clamps, a pair of 2” Kreg clamps. I currently am up to four 6” Automaxx Kreg clamps which are my most-used clamps of anything that I have for woodworking projects.I have a lot of bar clamps of various sizes that I use often to hold large projects for glue curing but my Kreg clamps get used both for gluing and pocket jig joints.With my satisfaction for the Kreg clamps that I already have, I bought these corner clamps with confidence. True to my previous experiences with Kreg clamps, they are fine quality and work nicely.I have other corner clamps that are only good for scrap. They will go in a garage sale, one day for fifty cents a piece, if I can get it. The Kreg corner clamps are forever though.My only disappointment was to find these new Kreg corner clamps labeled Made In China. I happily pay a bit more for quality American-made tools. I incorrectly assumed that clamps were made in the Huxley, Iowa, USA manufacturing plant.A word of caution also, there is a Chinese knock-version of these Kreg clamps on the market. The photo on the Amazon ad showed, what appeared to be, a genuine Kreg clamp complete with the Automaxx logo on the handle.I bought a pair of those to supplement these two Kreg originals. I returned them as defective for refund. Be certain to buy the Kreg originals. Do not be fooled by false photos.

I purchased 2 of these clamps. Neither one will hold 3/4 inch plywood when assembling a cabinet. I have a right angle clamp by Kreg that uses the same auto adjust that works like a charm. I may have been lucky enough to get 2 defective clamps. So I contacted Kreg about this. The same day I received a reply describing how to reset the clamps and it this doesn't work to let them know. So I followed the instructions and the clamps begin to work like they should. I have to commend Kreg on their quick response. Here is how to reset the auto adjust clamps." So you will open the jaws and back out that adjustment screw to the point where it is really loose but not falling out. You should see around 3/8" of threads between the bottom of the head of the screw to where it screws into the mechanism. Then you will close the jaws then open them back up. After that, you can bring that adjustment screw back to the positive around halfway down and try to clamp it down. That adjustment is not an exact adjustment, you may have to tighten it more or loosen it more to get the correct pressure you want to apply. When you are using the clamp, you will want to make sure you are opening the clamp fully when you are moving the clamp. This will allow the Automaxx system to reset to zero each time. You should only need to adjust the adjustment screw if you need to add or take out pressure from the clamp as the clamp will adjust to different thicknesses on its own. "

Nice design, but a little cumbersome to use when trying to hold up large panels. The automax feature is nice when it works.

The clamp doesn't have all the grip of any face clamp or else, but it works fine for the main use, butt joints at right angles. The main purpose is to hold the pieces together in order to use screws or pocket hole joints, that works as designed. Do not expect gorilla pressure on the clamp, it is not intended for that, only to keep the pieces at 90 degrees and use pocket holes, screws and nails. I wish to have one of this on my first cabinet I used a corner clamp since the main intention is to hold everything in order to put the screws. The adjustment screw is easy to use.

I got the Kreg KHCCC corner clamp for some woodworking projects, and it does the job but there are a few things that could be better. The automatic adjustment feature is nice and makes it easy to set up but I found it a bit tricky to get the perfect hold every time. Sometimes it’s a little too tight or not tight enough which can throw off your project. The build quality is solid, though, and once you get it adjusted right it holds corners and joints securely. It works well for cabinets and boxes but it’s not the most user-friendly tool if you're not experienced. Overall, it’s good for the price but it could be a little more precise and easier to use. It’s decent but I’m not completely sold on it.

Product looks like it will be a good fit in my shop, sadly Amazon decided to send me a used clamp. I wouldn’t have a problem with that if I paid for a used clamp and not full price

The date: 12/07/23Shame on me for not reading the "most recent" reviews. The bottom line is that the 2 I purchased were inoperable. "Frozen" is the word I would choose.First off, there are no directions that come with the tool. Why would there be though right? Except when they don't work, I for one would like some kind of reference page to refer to.I ended up watching multiple Youtube videos and more importantly, reading the video's comments. I learned that these Kreg clamps are notorious for not working as they are designed to. I began to find hope in comments posted after the videos describing how other users were able to remedy theirs. What made my hope drain was that there isn't a "one fits all" remedy. I couldn't even adjust the tension screw on mine without using a pair of pliers. Mind you, a pair of pliers small enough to grab just the screw without also grabbing the tool as I tried to loosen or tighten it. What a waste of time! By the way, both my tools came this way. Watch the Kreg video, and the operator of the tool manipulates the screw effortlessly. Not mine. And others share the same issue.The shame of it all is that I am a Kreg fan. Actually, there are many out there who have these tools and they work perfectly. I wish I was one of them, and so do so many others who have received these as lemons. Kreg, you have an issue here that needs corrected.Thanks to the convenience of the rain forest, I'll return these and possibly purchase another set in the hopes I too become one of the lucky ones. Or maybe, I'll find another brand to try.
