Tools and Hardware Reviews of All in One Clamp A-50 50-Inch Grip Clamp Guide w/T-track
Customer Review: Looks like it would be a nice accessory but...
Summary: 2 Stars
...mine arrived with a permanent bow that prevents it from laying flat on a workpiece. That means I have to rig another clamping solution to hold it down (flat). As others mention, it flexes under moderate lateral pressure. My 98" aluminum edge guide ($20 from Ace Hardware) is superior for routing and cutting, although it does not provide the T-slots. Bought this in July 2007 from Amazon, tried it three times, and now it hangs unused in a corner. I may re-purpose it (screwed down) for it's long T-slots, but never again as a routing edge. OK, I'll say something nice: the blue color is pretty.Customer Review: Clamp?
Summary: 3 Stars
The holding power of the clamp is somewhat lacking and it is virtually useless with out the optional wide jaws(they should be included with the clamp from the get go). The pictures of the clamp are very deceiving it looks nice and wide but in reality the clamp is only 1 3/4 inches wide and the lock handle seems a bit flimsy and will probably need replacing with repetitive use. However overall the clamp is nice for ripping plywood down to size and it can also be used as a fence on various stationary saws.
Customer Review: Great clamp - but
Summary: 3 Stars
Great clamp, but do not use it with a router. This is a great clamp for doing quick and dirty cuts, but do not expect your cut to be perfectly straight as it can flex if you apply pressure against it. It is perfectly fine for most circular saw cuts as long as you don't press to firmly against it, but a router adds way to much pressure and you won't end up with a straight cut. Get the wider model if you need it for routing or extremely straight circular saw cuts.Customer Review: Good but not what I expected
Summary: 3 Stars
I was expecting this product to cut accurate right angles or atleast close to it. This is no different from using straight edge with quick grips. It doesn't save you time. I purchased this and used it for an entire day then left it collecting dust. I found a better way of cutting large sheets on youtube using two pieces of MDF, one narrow and one wide (so that it's flush with the factory edge). This product is a good idea, but definitely needs more inovation.Customer Review: Fine tool
Summary: 5 Stars
Before buying this, I used a straight edge I had bought at a lumber yard, which could be made to reach 8'. But I had to use clamps to hold it in place and sometimes the clamps interfered with my saw or the surface I was working on. This tool has that incorporated into the straight edge, making it take up less room for storage or use. I like that it reaches across a 4' sheet of plywood also, which allows me to cut a very straight line with a circular saw.
