Tools and Hardware Reviews of All in One Clamp A-50 50-Inch Grip Clamp Guide w/T-track
Customer Review: All in One Clamp is it worth it?
Summary: 4 Stars
All in One Clamp, is it worth the asking price? I am a finish carpenter by trade and a designer as a pass time. I found this straight edge to be rugged and well made! On the down side I would like too see even less plastic in its design increasing its durabuility. My point on worth, yes to the All in One Clamp A-50-50, but to be honest I truely think their longer models are a bit excessive in price, which is shy-ing me away from a purchase even though I would love their 100" model to do such things as doors where a straight edge cut is crucial. For me the small time operator wanting to purchase the 100" models is equal too affording a Mercedes-Benz, WELL BUILT although exspensive and exclusive! Customer Review: Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out how it works...

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: Excellent Product
Summary: 5 Stars
After I figured out how to get it to clamp down properly, I have zero complaints about this product. The instructions on the box are kind of like the "rabbit and turtle" instructions on a lawnmower: Not very descriptive, and they fail to mention the "click lock" mechanism on the rear jaw.
Once you perform the click lock, this thing does NOT move from the position you put it in.
I have the 50" model, and I am going to purchase a shorter one for smaller work.
I did encounter their customer service when I could not immediately get it to clamp down on my workpiece, and I have no complaints about the experience. They were not rude, discourteous or arrogant as has been suggested in other reviews.
Lacking the funds and space to own a panel saw, this, combined with a good blade on your circular saw, is the next best thing!
Customer Review: Worth the purchase!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
The 50" all-in-one straight edge clamp is a must have for the finish carpenter and do-it-yourselfer's!
It's very well made and easy to use. So, if you're looking for perfectly straight cuts, I highly recommend this product!
Customer Review: good purchase

I am a carpenter and I build alot of closets, bookshelves and other things out of plywood and MDF. I usually either struggle with a table saw or try to freehand cuts. This is now one of my go to tools that I bring to every job. The only drawback is that until you get the hang of possitioning the clamp to a setting that will grab it is a little hard to use. Once i got the hang of it, it has improved the quality of my work and increased my speed
