The quality of the Panel Clamp is extremely well made. Well worth the money for the value. Design is great compared to others I have read the reviews on.

O'SKOOL…. Pressure Panel Clamp these clamps are Beasts, they were well packaged and after a speedy delivery they arrived in perfect condition, these clamps are constructed of heavy duty steel and finished in a black and orange powder coat finish, rails are in orange hardware in black, clamps work on panels from 3/4" to 3" thick and 10" to 36" wide, the feature I like best is that once you start cranking the handle you are now applying 4 way pressure from top to bottom and front to back in one easy motion, this clamps will save me lots of time and effort, they are amazing, and they are easy to use the best clamps I’ve ever had assembly is easy and instructions are included and easy to follow, O’SKOOL makes a great product and I highly recommend this product.

Works great.

When these clamps arrived, they were very well packed. They're really heavy duty and I did a small glue up just to test them, and they worked out great. One of the picture shows the edge of the glue up and you can see that there's hardly any variance in the boards whatsoever. Probably less than one sixteenth of an inch. In the picture that shows the clamps, you can see that I covered the surfaces of the bars with masking tape before the glue up to prevent glue from getting on the bars. One of the things I figured out when doing the first glue up was that it's easier to have the top and bottom clamping bars separated from one another laying the wood out on the base bar. I initially tried inserting the boards between the clamps and while that worked it was somewhat cumbersome. Looking at the clamps, you can see the end that has the crank on it and I will call that the head and the other end the tail. Once you get your boards in place and lined up, it's fairly easy to to slide the top half of the clamp in from the head side towards the tail side till they're aligned properly. Once the glue up is finished, you can take them out in the same direction. There again moving the tail away from the head. This keeps you from having to fight the notches in the saw tooth pattern on the clamps. The only problem I have with these clamps is finding a good place to store them. My clamp rack is somewhat full. I'm looking forward to getting many years of use from these clamps.

These are the clamps you didn't even know you needed.My husband and I do a lot of DIY projects together and have been bemoaning the need for better clamps that will let us clamp multiple boards together, side to side and top to bottom. THESE are the holy grail of clamps for us.I found using these to be pretty intuitive, and like that I can tighten down the clamps easily, or leave some play in them to stagger and re-align boards for projects where I'm doing an asymmetrical edge, and then tighten it down to exactly where I need it.These are solid steel, and heavy duty clamps - I did not anticipate how well made these are, and I'm already debating ordering a second set as I can easily see my Dad wanting a set for his shop as well.Unlike other clamps I've used, these adjust with ease, even with my weaker hand strength, they're very smooth to adjust, tighten, and unclamp.If you do any kind of DIY or woodworking with larger boards, or know someone who does, these are THE clamps to get. It's a solid investment that pays for itself over time.

5 seconds in my garage / workshop will tell you I'm a "tool guy". And clamps are no exception, I have a wide variety of clamps, from slide-clamps to C-clamps to ordinary Vise-grips. And because epoxy resin crafts are a hobby of mine, and I've always wanted to make my own cutting boards, when I saw these clamps, I was intrigued. Do those actually work, I wonder?Yes. They absolutely do. And frankly, the design is nothing short of genius, because the way the clamping forces are applied, it clamps both the Z axis (up and down) as well as the Y axis (back and forth). Adjustable simply by sliding the one end down as far as it'll go and then cranking the handle until it's held fast. You, ahh, will want to make sure you put the glue in before clamping. Trust me, if you're like me, you'll get it all clamped up and remember, oh yeah, they need to be GLUED first, lol. Details.These clamps are just fantastic. I will tell you right now, if you're doing really long projects? Go ahead and order 2 sets of these. You'll be glad you did, because these are THE clamps to own if you're doing anything where you're joining many smaller boards into one solid piece...making cutting boards, counter tops, butcher blocks, art projects, laminates, you name it, these are just ridiculously useful.This is everything I need to make my own cutting boards. The quality is amazing. I don't think there's a shred of plastic anywhere to be found, all actual STEEL. 100% satisfied with these, these will get a LOT of use. 5 stars. Recommended for those crafty folks that like to make things.

These are a great quality set of clamps. I would recommend these to anyone from an expert woodworker to a beginner tinkerer. They don't scar up the wood which is good for quality wood. They hold firm and stay tight for a long time. They would work great in many different applications. They are a great quality product at a reasonable price.
