Title: cheap metal not usual Festool quality
Review: I purchased a pair of these and loved them at first. After a week of using them they started to stick. I looked at the metal rod and it had little nicks all over it. I then checked Festools owner blog and found many others had the same problem and no answers. I returned them and saw the same set but made by by another company from Australia that makes a multipurpose table. I checked out there clamps and the shaft was made from a stronger steel it seemed. The salesman told me that the demo clamps from the other company had been used for 4 years and no problem. We then did a side by side test and the Festool clamps (2 separate sets) stuck after a little use but the other ones did not. Sorry to say but you can not buy the other company's clamps in the US without the $800 table (not yet anyways).
