Cabinet installation can be a bear, but this clamp set makes it more than bearable. The unique design is like another pair of hands that grip while you align and tighten the stiles, pre-drill and fasten, and the clamps stay put through the entire process. The drill guides and pilot holes ensure that the 1/8-inch bit (included) hits the mark time after time. We like the professional quality: lightweight but rugged aluminum claws and alignment plates, protective rubber pads that won't mar your work, 1/2-inch diameter zinc-plated, cold-drawn steel screws with smooth Acme threads. The plastic handles even have grooves for a great grip. These clamps will work with stiles from 1-1/2 to 2 inches wide and up to an impressive 1-1/2 inches thick. We think it's well worth the price if you're working alone, whether you're a professional or a home do-it-yourselfer.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

 Worth the money May 20, 2008
James Z (Folsom, CA)
More convenient and faster than using C-Clamps. If one of the stiles refuses to go back flush after tightening up the clamp I use a card board shim only on the side of the stile that needs to be coaxed back flush with the with the other stile. Card board shim strips used for drywall work great.
 Well worth the money, why did I wait so long? March 22, 2008
John Flenniken (Las Cruces, NM)
After years of using hand clamps, I thought I would give these a try. I couldn't believe how much nicer these were to use. The drill guide is used for the pilot hole and then you swing the guide out of the way and finish with the countersink bit. Put the screw in and you on to the next. A depth stop on the countersink bit makes it easy to stop but I did found that a piece of tape works a little easier and it doesn't get in the way of the drill guide. Since I don't do this for a living, the price from Amazon makes this well worth the money. The tool is made to last a more than a lifetime so it would be something that would be passed down or on to someone else.
One of a kind clamp March 2, 2008
Gordon Harner
The Pony cabinet claw clamp is the only clamp that can be used to line up face frame cabinets in two planes. The clamp can be used to clamp two cabinet side face frames together, align them and then provide a drill guide to join them together. The clamps are of good quality and perform well.
Helpful, but only for high volume installers December 24, 2007

These are very helpful when connecting two flush cabinets together, but most kitchens only have a few of such connections. These clamps obviously don't work when attaching a cabinet to a side panel at the end of a cabinet run, or when attaching a cabinet to a 45 degree corner cabinet, etc. The drilling hole in the side is convenient, but doesn't allow you to use a countersink bit because the hole is too small in diameter (at least for the standard countersink bits that I have), so if you want to countersink your face frame screws, which most people do, you have to take off the clamp after drilling your pilot holes, and then re-clamp prior to screwing.
The clamps are high quality construction and work as advertised, but are expensive. If you only have a few cabinets to install, don't spend the money on these. A good pair of quick release clamps and a little extra time is your better option. But if you are a professional installer that does high volume, then I think these are worth it.
