I have had this clamp for a couple of years. Worked great. Over the weekend, I dropped it on my shop floor. Actually, I knocked it off of the miter saw stand, let's call it 36" above the floor (Concrete). The handle shattered into pieces. The clamp is now useless. I called DeWalt. Sorry, the warranty is only 1 year- and we don't cover DROPPING it. Oh, and it was discontinued in 2006 so it HAS to be older than a couple of years.
