Review of Kreg KHC-1410 Automaxx 3-Inch Face Clamp

Customer Ratings:

Not having to adjust your clamp for varying materials while you pocket-hole is great. The "auto" mechnism is very similar to the Bessey toggle clamps I use but, the mechanism is not near as smooth. The Irwin deployment does use a little spring-loaded turn-knob instead of a small nut to lock the tension setting. This is a definite improvement over the Bessey but, once you set your tension, you rarely change it so, I would rather have the smooth Bessey action. All in all it is priced a bit high but, was worth the price on sale. A little more attention to the rough edges would bring this rating up.

Guess i should have paid attention to the kreg video better...i thought this would be quicker than using a irwin type quick clamp but its really a pain to use. You can't really operate it one handed because the handles open so wide. With a quick clamp you can have one hand holding the kreg jig in place/hold the workpiece and one to run the clamp. But with this you need both hands on the handles and nothing to hold the workpiece. It clamps correctly and would be a good setup with the version that stays connected to a tabletop.

Returned item, using quick clamps instead.

Wish they'd come up with this design earlier soooooo much easier than tweaking that knob every time we use it.

Honest reviews on Kreg KHC-1410 Automaxx 3-Inch Face Clamp

It works on different sizes of material. The amount of clamping pressure can be adjusted. Good product.

The reason for the 4 stars is that you can't clamp with one hand and this one is to replace one that broke after about ten uses.
