Tools and Hardware Reviews of All in One Clamp U-99 99-Inch Ultra Wide Grip Clamp with Double T-TrackCustomer Review: Sturdy and Straight Summary: 5 StarsI have used this for two years now to cut down large stock to size and it has worked well.
Pros:
1. Lateral strength - the width makes this straight edge very stable over distance- important when cutting large stock down to size. I have a very small shop that won't fit large extension and outfeed tables for my circular saw that would allow me to handle large sheet stock in this way.
2. Clamping mechanism - the ability to actuate the clamp only on one end for an 8 foot piece of plywood is really nice. It clamps easily and holds fast, allowing no deflection over the course of the cut.
3. Straight - It is possible to approach the quality of a table saw cut with a circular saw when done carefully.
4. T-tracks on either side increase the utility and the ability to use accessories, like router and circular saw guides. Note that I have not made use of these and cannot comment on their practical application.
Other thoughts:
1. One other reviewer recently pointed out that each clamping event leaves tiny indents in the surface of the clamping rod. Mine does this also and I can see that while it may not affect clamping ability, it may well affect the smoothness of the sliding jaw over time. Hasn't become an issue with mine, but you may want to consider this if you anticipate frequent, daily use.
2. The built-in ruler on the sides are of marginal utility. They are not precisely on the edge and are plastic-covered paper, making them prone to shrinkage and movement. (mine got wet on a job during a rainy day and curled up) I would trust mine if I only needed accuracy to within an eighth of an inch or so.
I still give this product five stars based on its utility- ability to guide straight 8 foot cuts- and value.
