Review of Adjustable Clamp 8520BP Euro-style Cabinet Claw (Pair)

Euro-style cabinets are usually made of melamine which is too slick for these clamps to grab hold of. I sent them back after one day of use.

Review of 3 Pack Adjustable Clamp 9166 90 Degree Pony Corner Clamp

I have 4 of these and use them for pre-assymbly, as well as glue-up assymbly of mitered joints.
I'm surprised nobody else has done a review of them before me. I've used them for years and years now.

Review of Denali 30-Piece Bar Clamp Assortment

This set is an incredible deal, but be sure you can live with a flaw. The casting on the fixed heads, where it comes in contact with whatever you're clamping on to, is slightly rounded and quite lumpy. The thin plastic cap covering it (hiding it?) will do little to help prevent the head from making an indentation on your work. It's especially bad on the 6" and 12" clamps. My very similar Bessey clamps have a perfectly smooth head surface and aren't covered with a plastic cap.

The package is very heavy, clamps are extremely well wrapped/packaged inside, but then shipped in a cheap box. The clamps were all very dirty, like they were made in a filthy factory. Clean them well before use.

Now the good news. I compared these to my Bessey clamps and found that the Denalis are very similar in construction. Thickness and width of the bars is the same as Bessey, size and perceived strength of the heads *looks* as strong as the Besseys (who knows). The movable head screw is heavier than Bessey, and the wooden handles are the same size as Bessey or larger.

The bottom line for me is that it's like a 30 piece set of Besseys at a small fraction of the price, but now I have to figure out what to do with those workpiece-damaging heads.

Review of Pony Frame Clamp

I make many picture frames, usually of exotic hardwoods, usually using a biscuit joiner, so I'm always looking for something that will make the gluing process easier. I'm very meticulous about measuring and cutting, so I *should* be able to get joints that butt correctly without gaps. But as others who do this kind of work know, even with perfect cuts, getting the joint set up to glue correctly isn't easy. Invariably, you think you've got it clamped up juuuuust right, then come back after the glue's set up to find gaping chasms between the pieces. This jig promises to make the process foolproof, but I found it doesn't work very well, especially if you anticipate using it for a long time.
The process: Put the jig on a table (or the floor), set the retaining corner pieces in the slots that allow you to place your picture frame in it; in other words, if you have a large frame, the corner pieces go into slots farther out on the four aluminum braces. (Note: The image above shows the corner pieces backwards.) Then you tighten a wingnut in the center to pull the braces inward. You cannot adjust the angles in each corner; they're all exactly 45 degrees. That should work, though sometimes, even if you've cut the wood properly, it'd be nice to be able to shim in a corner or two ever so slightly.
The fatal flaws in this device: One, one small wingnut tightens the whole thing, so it takes some effort to get the thing really tight. Two, it doesn't have any mechanism to flatten the wood vertically, so you must use clamps to make sure they don't ride up (even with biscuits, I find that happens occasionally). Three, the corner pieces are plastic, and apparently cheap plastic -- after tightening the jig too much, I broke one, making the entire jig useless.
I think this thing could be a very useful device, but it needs a better tightening mechanism and sturdier components.

Review of Pony 3202-HT 2-Inch Spring Clamp with Handle and Tip

You can buy [less expensive] versions of this clamp...
The plastic wears off and then the metal edges show through.Then the plastic comes off and gets lost.The springs are barely passable when new.Not the Pony.
The plastic does wear off, but not until after a long time of hard use.It use them at the miter saw table all the time.Makes it easier to cope molding when it is clamped to something solid.
