 Great Clamp for marking or cutting sheet goods December 13, 2008

I own these clamps in all of the sizes offered. I've never had a problem with the clamping mechanism like some have stated. Keeping the locking rails clean via compressed air or at the least, brushing the rails off with a shop bench brush works quite fine. The U99 is the most used in the shop for cutting plywood and marking up long stock. The shorter clamp rails make excellent router and saw guides as well. After owning these for over a year, I would highly recommend them. Unfortunately, my neighbors love them too!

I am a general contractor and do many of the smaller jobs as well. I have owned a competitor's 48" brand for years and love using it on the bottom of doors for a straight cut. I had been looking for an 8'version so I could use it to rip down the width of doors plus plywood accurately. When I ran across this, I was excited and purchased it immediately. I have used it on several applications and I can tell you it is worth it's weight in gold. I must say that there is a slight glitch in it's use but once you understand it, it is not a problem. The slight glitch is that sometimes you have to "reset" the locking mechanism with your finger to re-establish the locking ability. Once you figure this out, it's not a problem. I mention this for two reasons, first to save you the frustration you will feel when you think it's not holding properly. Perhaps this is a design flaw because my name brand 48" does not have this issue. Secondly, I noticed that the only "1" star rating so far on this product mentions this complaint. Even with the need to snap the locking pin in place from time to time, I am so pleased with what this guide does for me. It is well worth the cost because it does get the job done. I just wish they would offer a case to hold it for storage. Hope this helps....

Works Well, But... April 11, 2008

The aluminum had some slight dings from shipping. Not serious, but I needed to scrape them smooth.
The adjustable clamp is oddly not intuitive and did not seem to work the first time I tried the product. But I flipped the rail over and it was obvious how to set or release the clamp. Once I had it snugged against the far end of a sheet of 4 by 8 birch ply, the locking (fixed) end clamp did the job.
Works and works well and the 99" length makes the last bit of a cut easier to keep straight.
I also bought the option saw base-- can't use it. It is too small for many of the newer pro-style saws, has the holes in useless places and the worst instructions I've seen in quite awhile. They show the saw installed for use with motor side away from the part the rides the rail: that is as if the saw guide was to be used to the right of the cut. The very tiny photo shows the plate installed so that the guide rail is to the left of the cut. In either case the right side of my saw base would be almost at the edge of the plastic base, leaving no room for screws. The instructions tell you that if you have to custom drill holes that they should be counter sunk on the bottom of the saw base, but the ones that are pre-drilled are counter sunk on the top side. Who knows.
Anyway the reviewers who complain about the clamps probably did not take the extra time to figure out how to "lock" the adjustable clamp before tightening the fixed clamp. Good product --but no instructions are by definition not good instructions.
