Tools and Hardware Reviews of Rockler 29190 Clamp-It Assembly Square ToolCustomer Review: Fairly square for rough work Summary: 4 Stars
These are made from rigid ( phenolic ) plastic so they provide support for clamping well. They are close to square (not perfectly square) and the surfaces are not very flat. For rough casework, that is not a problem. They help with clamping carcasses, despite their imperfections. It would be tough to make better clamping squares for less money, especially if you consider your time for labor.
If you need these to be perfectly square and flat, you can adjust them with two plywood faces (cut to size) and a little tape. One of mine was so close to perfect that I couldn't improve it much. The other three were out of square by over .005". The plywood faces and tape brought them into line in. The phenolic blocks provide strength while the plywood faces register square to the work. A dot of CA glue on each end holds the faces in place.
By the way, I did not buy these but received them as a gift. You can make perfectly useable and perfectly square clamping cauls from stock corner-braces, like those you see in home-centers for shelving. The heavy duty metal ones cost five bucks. They are every bit as square ( or un-square) as these these things and are just as easy to fix. Seeing as how you would have to square these up anyway, you can save some dough by making your own or modifying the less-expensive metal corner-braces. Depending on your budget, needs and disposition, that is another option. But these are not terrible for the dough.
