The corner clamps in your pix look much more substantial than the Craftsman clamps. I have a set of the Craftsman clamps and they work fine enough, but I wouldn't mind a more heavy-duty set.

Hey, Karl ...




Nifty drawer clamp gadget in Pix 17. Who makes it?




Had my old set for forty years or more.



Damned hard to find in most locales. Best bet is Sears ... pricey, but I

often find 8 of them to not be enough on occasion.



They are still pretty well made by Craftsman, at least the last four I

bought from Sears seem to perform well.

Don't believe the review about not being sturdy ... that's BS, they're

plenty strong in my experience. Leon and I have put together many large

cabinet boxes using two sets at a time.
