Title: Use Your Hard-Earned Money Elsewhere
Product review: Wow was I disappointed with the performance of these clamps. First of all, they scratched and marred the wood faces to required extensive sanding to remove. Next, they are much more difficult to operate than advertised as the clamping pressure is lost when trying to squeeze together a joint (I was using dowels which can be very difficult to join). Finally, I found the removal of the clamps very awkward and had to release some of them with a hammer. I tried them twice, had equal results both times and found a final resting place on the bottom of a work shelf in the shop. Cool concept but the product quality lagged.
