The ProGrip Straight Edge Clamps are the perfect tool for cutting large sheets of plywood and dado slots. With all three sizes available (24, 36 and 50 inches), you can find the best size for your project. Not only are these clamps easy to use, but they are also made with top-notch quality, have a great design, and are highly efficient. Get your ProGrip Straight Edge Clamps today and experience the best edge clamping available. O Bloody Hell: Much less expensive than similar edge clamps from many other manufacturers, the one serious downcheck to these is that you cannot "add" two of them together to make a much longer clamp, as those tend to support. This is fine if you are ok with limiting your distance to the longest of the three, but, if you were going to deal with full sheets of plywood, you're kind of SOL.
Personally, not clear why they did not design them to enable such, even if they didn't provide a connector as part of the set. The design makes doing anything of that sort difficult, even if you wanted to rig up a connector piece to manage it.

Ed Aro: I bought these to simplify the painful process of breaking down plywood sheets. They are amazing. Very easy to use, sturdy, and well built. Excellent packaging. No complaints at all. If you work with sheet goods, buy them. They will change your life.

Michael Skrentny: Clamps don't hold tight, even in the 3rd clamping Position. Added some 80 grit skateboard tape to the textured plastic clamp edge and now they are solid! Absolutely will not move now.

bestatchess: I use two progrip clamps to do this: How to cut perfectly straight dado grooves with a router by JFKreations on u tube. Instead of cutting precision mdf straight edge spacer blocks as shown in that video, I use extra base plates for my router: Bosch 1617 Router Replacement Sub Base # 2610928164 (2 Pack). Using only one straight edge (as shown in the ProGrip product description photo) can allow torque kick out and climb cut excursions. Using two straight edges basically creates a dado jig that locks the router on track, preventing kick out and excursions and potentially allowing a full depth cut in one pass, instead of multiple passes. Great product once I figured this out.

Daniel Oldakowski: These straight edge clamps have been great for helping me cut straight lines across large sheet goods. They are pretty easy to clamp down, and they stay in place. I have noticed that it is easy to under clamp them, but just adjust and they work wonderfully.
