Tools and Hardware Reviews of All in One Clamp A-50 50-Inch Grip Clamp Guide w/T-track
Customer Review: Best Guide I Ever Bought
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been thinking about getting one of these for a long time. I finally ordered the 50" & 24" the 50" came today & it is the best guide I have ever bought. I will definitly get the 99" & 36".
Customer Review: Clamp?
Summary: 3 Stars
The holding power of the clamp is somewhat lacking and it is virtually useless with out the optional wide jaws(they should be included with the clamp from the get go). The pictures of the clamp are very deceiving it looks nice and wide but in reality the clamp is only 1 3/4 inches wide and the lock handle seems a bit flimsy and will probably need replacing with repetitive use. However overall the clamp is nice for ripping plywood down to size and it can also be used as a fence on various stationary saws.
Customer Review: Decent clamp guide
Summary: 4 Stars
Not a bad tool. Needs to double check the front and back to ensure it has locked onto your material straight. Beeswax provides ample lub to the rail for use with accesory plates.Customer Review: Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out how it works...
Summary: 5 Stars
I received my 50" All in One Clamp on Friday and have been using it all weekend and am just loving it. I've used it as a guide for my circular saw WITHOUT the Saw Plate attachment and it worked perfectly. It didn't move or slip at all which resulted in a perfectly straight line. I have also used it to cut a groove in a piece of MDF with my Porter Cable router (without the Router Plate attachment) and again worked perfectly!
And it is not at all difficult to use, it's basically like using a bar clamp. Just slide the clamp to the edge of your board/work piece and press the locking mechanism down, THATS IT! To release it just pull up on the mechanism. I didn't even have to look at the instructions to figure out how it works.
Now I will say you do need to mark, measure, and line the All in One clamp just like any other straight edge out there because you can never rely on ANYTHING being perfectly straight. If you do, well you're just setting yourself up for an uneven cut.
I will definitely be buying more of these in different sizes, as well as the optional attachments because this has so far saved me hours of setting up a straight edge and clamps to hold the straight edge in place. A definite must have!
Customer Review: E. Emerson Tool Customer Service?????
Summary: 1 Stars
6/22/08 Ordered this item on April 24th 2008 and it was promptly received. Upon examination I noticed that it would not work. Returning the item was not an option, so I looked up e emerson tool online and was happy to find a useful website with exploded views of their tools. It was obvious that the tool was missing a part. An e-mail was sent and I waited.... On may 22nd I received a reply stating that they were short handed and they were sorry that it took so long to get back to me. I was assured that the part was now in the mail.... As of 6/22/08 no part has arrived, I have sent a couple of e-mails to emerson in the last few weeks and have received no reply. Most small companies I deal with try to ensure that customer service is taken care of quickly. I have no problem allowing for a company being "short handed". But, this low level of service is unusual, especially during difficult times. A satisfied customer will tell a couple of people, an unsatisfied customer will tell everyone they meet! The tool looks like it might work well, I have no way of knowing. And do not plan to try their other items.
