POWERTEC 20305 Vertical Quick Release Toggle Clamp with Rubber Pressure Tips

Justin Gaspar: This set of clamps is reasonably priced and are good for all kinds of woodworking projects. The clamps can adjust for a variety of width boards. One of the clamps lost its ability to lock within a week getting it. The other clamp has worked well and continues to have good holding power. When the clamps work, they are good value for the price.

PeterSAPeterSA: The only reason this didn't get 5 stars is because the product description doesn't make it obvious that this is a SURFACE clamp. This is basically a surface clamp +- 1/4 inch. i.e without additional blocking, mounted on the same surface as the workpiece, the workpiece can be up to 1/4" thick, or the pad can be adjusted to clamp at 1/4 inch below the clamp surface level. Yes, you can clamp a 2" board, but only if you mount it on a 2" block. Just like you can clamp 6 ft block, if you mount it on a 6 ft block. That aside, it suited my purpose just fine for making a jig to cut large panels of OSB. I thought I would need both clamps to hold the jig securely against 8' panels, but just one suffices as it has great holding power.

J SMITHJ SMITH: Was torn between buying this clamp and the other clamp here on amazon that apparently is very small but much cheaper. I needed something that would hold wood confidently since I was creating a taper jig to make the back of an adirondack chair whose back slats are wider at the top than the bottom to make a fan shape. These toggle clamps worked perfectly to securely hold the wood onto the taper jig I made as I ran cedar board through a table saw. Results were excellent and after the fact, I believe the slightly high price of these robust clamps was justified. As a side, if using toggle clamps in a table saw jig, I would highly recommend vertical over horizontal clamps to avoid hitting the saw fence or anything else.

In the pictures below, an example of how these toggle clamps can be used is shown. I made a taper jig to cut cedar boards to make the fan shape seen on a typical adirondack chair back. A board already cut is shown clamped down. The clamps securely held the board as they were run through a table saw giving great results in a safe manner.

Katherine & Mick: As other reviews mentioned, these appear to be good quality and have a solid feel. The reason for the four stars and not five is that I am unable to clamp anything thicker than 1 x material - meaning 3/4 inch thick pieces of wood. It was unclear to me from the description what the capacity was. In the questions and answers section it was mentioned that the capacity is about 2 inches. After removing the bolt above the rubber stopper so the stopper was flush with the metal (see pic of product), I was able to gain more range and was able to barely clamp down an inch thick piece of wood. I was unable to clamp down 2 x material (1.5 inches thick). Maybe mine will loosen over time or there are variations in the manufacturing.

I will most likely be using this to clamp down 1x boards so its not thay big of a deal but felt that a one star deduction was fair. Also, I am sure that I assembled it properly as pictured.
