pros-
-much easier to use the kreg jr on similar sized boards than other clamps
-jig wont fall off work surface because it is attached to the clamp
-size is right for most projects
cons-
-costs slightly more than I would prefer
-like most newer "vice grip" style camps, it does not include a release latch on the handle. some prefer this but I lament the loss of that little release latch.
over all, I am happy with the purchase, I wish the cost was slightly lower but I found the clamp to be worth the money. if you have the Kreg Jr this is a must get accessory.
Easy and quick to adjust the clamping force as needed. I didn't realize just how much the thickness of plywood varies, but you will know immediately when you clamp this down from hole to hole when it clamps tight on one hole then the next hole just a few inches away is loose. Does not leave any mark or impression on the bottom surface where the clamp pad meets the wood.
I wish there were rubber boots that could be slid onto the swivel heads to make use of the clamps elsewhere, but with the R3 it works great.
I like the feel of it generally. The materials feel solid and well made. The mechanism moves nicely and it operates smoothly. It has the normal screw type of adjustment so it works for a wide range of material thicknesses. I think it will be a well performing clamp for a long time.
Some things I was a little disappointed in were the finer details. The rubber over mold on the handles is pretty cheap and not the best fit. Some of the other reviews cover that issue pretty well. Also for the price difference I would buy the automatic adjusting one next time so I don't have to worry about messing with adjusting it while trying to hold the work in place as well.
Overall it's a good clamp, but nothing special compared to any other option on the market
I also watched several YouTube videos by Ana-White. She is a great inspiration to fellow do-it-yourselfers and offers a plethora of free ideas and patterns for woodworking ideas. Ana is also a spokeswoman for Kreg tools, so you see her demonstrations on using the tools.
The clamp does more than hold your pocket hole jig, though. Once your holes are drilled, use it to hold your wood together to ensure your joint is perfectly flat, as well!
You'll find all sorts of uses for your clamp - highly recommended for woodworking, both with and without the Kreg pocket hole jig.
