Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions
Product Description
WE NEED THE CORRECT IMAGE FOR THIS (THE RIGHT ANGLE CLAMP IS SHOWN, BUT IS ALREADY ON AMAZON). SEEMS LIKE 34445 MIGHT BE THE SAME CLAMP? AT LEAST THE IMAGE MIGHT BE USEABLE.
Large face clamp reaches up to 6" and ensures a perfectly flush joint every time! Large pad keeps clamp from marring wood. Perfect for flat stock such as face frames, mitered picture frames and other similar joints.
Amazon.com Product Description
The Kreg Right Angle Clamp holds work pieces at a 90 degree angle. It has a steel dowel on one arm to fit into the pockethole and anchoring your work piece against the second work piece to be joined. An opposite arm has a 180 degree swiveling pad that automatically adjusts to the dimensions of the work piece while you finish the joint by driving a screw into the adjacent pocket hole. This clamp with a 4-1/2-inch reach and easy release handle is particularly useful for assembling box joints and joining a cabinet carcass to face frames.
Customer Reviews
No substitute for this tool - Reviewed on 2008-08-18

This clamp works flawlessly every time. Conceptually, it's very simple. It replaces one of the flats on a normal Kreg clamp with a pin that fits in the pocket hole. Use the clamps in one or more pocket holes while you drive the screws into the others. If you need 100% square accuracy, you can hold a square in place against the joint while you drive the screw.
By the way, you can use these to clamp items that are not flush to one another, e.g., frame reveals, parts with differing thicknesses, and inset panels. Try THAT with a corner clamp!
To the reviewer that wondered about using pocket holes on the outside of items: In cabinet making, it's the INSIDE of the cabinet that's the concern. The ply or particleboard sides and back of the cabinet are completely hidden for most cabinets and virtually always covered on end cabinets.
As to the review that talks about blowing out the pocket hole, the only things that could possibly cause that are drilling too small a pocket (the clamps work perfectly with Kreg drills), clamping so tight as to crush the pocket, or clamping at an extreme angle (the clamp will work at a range of angles, not just 90 degrees). Or perhaps the owner has a defective clamp. In any event, this is a highly unusual complaint, and I've yet to hear from anyone else with this problem. Trust your own judgement, though, go to a demo at a woodworking show or store and try them.
