Excellent product

"Excellent product"

David M. (5/5)

No more screws walking!

"I wish I hadn't waited so long to buy this. Until I get the shop completely set up, I'm having to work in some tight spaces and this thing sure beats having to get a bunch of clamps out to stop "screw creep"."

Edward S. (5/5)

Good quality in the materials

"Good quality in the materials and ease of use with one hand. The automax system does not work completely well, as it gets stuck and it is difficult to fully open. A little extra work but it works."

ALVARO M. (5/5)

The clamp is strong and

"The clamp is strong and a great idea. Was a necessity really in assembly of a room divider built recently around pocket screw hole construction. Was a little tricky to adjust initially and you have to use care when releasing the clamp so as not to tear out the thin edge of the pocket hole."

Ward D. (5/5)

Easy clamp

"Good quality and easy to use."

Ricky M. (5/5)

Q&A

I would like to use this to clamp a deck 2x4 deck rail to a 4x4 post, butting the end to the post. Will this open and reach around the 4x4 to hold the rail butt end to the side of the post? Will be using Kreg HD jig and hardware.
This clamp has a max clamping of 3".

What is the Right Angle Clamp used for?
The Right Angle Clamp makes it easy to assemble projects at 90 degrees. One of the clamp arms has a steel pin that fits snugly into a Kreg pocket hole, letting you clamp two pieces together as you drive a pocket screw into the adjacent hole. It’s like having an extra set of hands to help you assemble your projects!
How large of workpieces can I join with the Right Angle Clamp™?
When fully released, the opening on this clamp is slightly over 5″, which allows you to clamp together two 2x4s with ease.
How do I adjust my Automaxx® Clamps?
Kreg® Clamps with Automaxx® make clamping faster and easier than ever by adjusting automatically to clamp materials that are thick, thin, or in between. With Automaxx, there’s no fussing with knobs that adjust the clamp capacity, no fiddling to get the exact pressure you want, no need for thickness adjustment at all — just powerful, predictable clamping every time. Below are some helpful hints to ensure your clamping experience is consistent every time. Remove the clamp from the packaging and test the clamp pressure on your material. If you are happy with the pressure of the clamp, no further adjustment is needed. If you would like more/less clamping pressure, simply open the clamp handles fully. Once open, turn set screw one-half turn (to the positive for more pressure, to the negative for less pressure) to adjust. Try out the clamp on the same material and repeat these steps until the desired pressure is found. Once you are happy with the clamping pressure, the clamp will maintain this same pressure until you change the setting again. If you would like to increase or decrease clamping pressure, follow the previous steps until the appropriate pressure is met. To ensure consistent pressure, open the clamp handles completely each time you move the clamp. This allows the Kreg Automaxx system to reset for the correct clamping pressure. Following these steps will ensure that these clamps will perform their best for all your project-building needs. If you have any additional questions please contact our Support Team at technicalsupport@kregtool.com.
Does this clamp work with holes drilled with the micro guide?
I am sorry to say, at this time, we only have the Right Angle Clamp that works with the standard 3/8" pocket holes.
These are great clamps...why don't you make one that fits the smaller pocket joinery drills???
I am sorry to say, we do not make that smaller Right Angle Clamp at this time. I will pass this to our Product Managers for review.
