60/90/120 Degree Carsen Clamps,Pro Carson Clamps for Woodworking Set of 4, Adjustable Single Handle Spring Loaded Right Angle Clamp,Corner Clamp for Picture Frame, Birthday Gifts DIY for Men/Carpenter

I have looked at corner clamps for a while, and Carsen clamps have popped up every time. I see why now, they are solidly built. Of course they are plastic to keep them light and handy to use. Though plastic they are strong and do not feel like they will break any time soon if you use them right. The springs are nice and strong and feel like they will hold their tension for awhile. Be aware that these are designed for your smaller wood projects. They have have a max opening to take care of the standard 3/4" lumber you buy at the box store (1x4 etc.) There is a little wiggle room but not much and they only open to .79". Idea for some small boxes and a small bookcase I plan on building. If you need larger for 2x4's or such you will need to go to a metal type. The box they came in is a nice way to store all the pieces as they came with 3 different angles that slip out of the clamp and then insert the next size. Be careful if you are going to throw out the box as the thinner 120* angles bend is in with the foam. I knocked a star off because they do not supply even a simple 4x6 sheet of paper to show you how to change the angles out. Yes it's simple but in my hurry to play I fiddled with them for a few minutes. As I have never used this type of tool before even just a simple couple of pictures on the bottom of the box would of made it quicker. In either case I can see these will help me when making by boxes from 1x4's or thinner wood. It will also mean I won't have to use my brad nail gun to hold the corners while the glue dries.

The clamps come well packaged (in foam) with three sets of 'wedges' (60°, 90° and 120°).The clamps are lightweight and the springs work well to firmly clamp the material. NOTE: The clamps will not work for material under 1/8" as the wedges have an 1/" gap when closed.I wish there was a way to align the 'wedges' to the center of the clamps (see photo showing that the wedges can be skewed). You will want to be careful when applying the clamps to make sure the wedges are centered for best results. (Being able to move the wedges 'could' be an advantage if you wanted to clamp something off center, like trying to glue together two different size thickness pieces of wood.)It would have been nice if the clamps could 'lock' in the open position to make it easier to change the wedges. Not a big deal, just it would have been a nice to have. For me, I'll be using the 90° wedges almost all the time, so changing the wedges is not a big deal.Overall, the clamps work well and do their job. I've only used the 90° wedges, but it is nice to have the option for 60° or 120°.For the cost, these are fine clamps and will get the job done for most jobs.Hope this review helped you decide if they are right for you!

These clamps come neatly packaged in a box. The clamps themselves are nestled in a foam cut-out. I am keeping this box to store the clamps in when not in use. It will be nice to keep all the parts to this set neatly stored together.I wanted this set for when I am working on small, light duty projects. These clamps are a better fit for this type of work than using my big bulky corner clamps. So far, these clamps are working well. I have only used the 90-degree angle so far and it has worked great. No problems with the spring jumping out of the fixture. The only slight difficulty I did have was it was a little hard holding the clamp open at times when setting them up to clamp onto the wood but that was it. This is the first time for me using this particular style of clamps so I can’t compare them to other brands of similar clamps but they are doing an okay job for me so far.

My expectations of these clamps was to use them for crafting projects. They are very good for that purpose. It's like having an extra set of hands for the myriad tasks needed when working with unusual materials in non-traditional situations.That being said, they are not sturdy enough or large enough to work well for most carpentry applications where time is money.But I highly recommend these Carson clamps for crafting. Very handy.

Before this purchase, I would use my aluminum 90-degree clamps to make up corners. But I thought I would try to cut down on assembly time by trying the Carson clamps. But when I opened the box I was surprised to see a lot of thin plastic parts. The only thing that was not plastic was the metal spring and it was not that thick of a spring. So, overlooking these issues I decided to give it a chance. It does keep the corners lined up but I had to use an additional clamp to maintain the corner integrity. I am willing to use the clamps for smaller projects but for cabinets and drawers I would recommend using a different clamping system.

These clamps are built out of a plastic housing, while there is nothing particularly wrong with that at the price point I'd almost expect them to be made of metal. These clamps would be rather easy to make on your own if you own a 3d printer. If these were made out of a higher strength ABS like material or any type of metal I believe that they would be a better value but for now I'd steer towards a different option that had a higher degree of strength.

These corner clamps work well for the price you are paying, they are a good budget option to get started.The different angle wedges are nice for different clamping options, but getting them aligned every time you switch to a different angle is quite fiddly and time consuming and can get frustrating. I wish they would align a little better and simpler.They seem to have good clamping pressure and hold very well.Overall, for the price, I'm happy with them. I just dread changing the wedges to a different angle.

These little corner clamps work great! I have screw type corner clamps, but sometimes they are awkward to use and require two hands to use. These spring clamps are really easy one-handed and good for smaller items like crafts and and shadow box frames. Easy to center and hold great until the glue sets. Very useful if you make a lot of frames and wood crafts. I've also used them to hold 1/2" & 3/4" boards at 90 degrees to nail with a brad nailer. The 60 degree and 120 degree blocks are a nice bonus. Cool little tools!
