So glad I found these by ()

I have been in woodworking for over 45 years, and usually used the old Pony strap clamps for odd sizes. I cannot believe I didn't find these earlier. They take clamping odd shapes, corner clamping and segmented turning sections to a whole new level of ease. Also pleased with the amount of steel and cast aluminum in these. I got in on the extra four corner per clamp deal, bought four right off the bat. Goodbye Pony, hello Merle!

Have used my Merle Corner Clamp for many different difficult jobs and have had very good results from it. It is easy to use as well as clamping the project very well. I have had no problems with it. Next I intend to purchase the additional corner pieces.
