Kreg® is proud to introduce the all-new 90° Corner Clamp

The Kreg® 90° Corner Clamp gives you the helping hand you need to hold 90° corners and “T” joints together securely when you’re assembling boxes, drawers, cabinets and cases. Plus, the 90° Corner Clamp leaves both of your hands free to add your fasteners. The 90° Corner Clamp is the fastest, easiest-to-use corner clamp you can buy thanks to Kreg Automaxx® auto-adjusting technology that adjusts the clamp automatically to the thickness of your workpieces — up to 1″ thick. The 90° Corner Clamp features cast-aluminum pads—an outer “V” and inner wedge—that press against the inside and outside faces of the two pieces being joined in order to hold those pieces at a 90° angle to one another. Edge stops also help align the edges of the pieces to ensure accurate assembly of structures like boxes, cabinets, drawers, and cases. The 90° Corner Clamp also simplifies “T” joints that are commonly used to attach things like shelves and partitions, thanks to openings in the outer “V” clamp pad. Thanks to Automaxx® auto-adjust technology, all you have to do is squeeze the clamp handles. The clamp will automatically close with the amount of pressure you have set, regardless of the material, whether you’re using thin plywood for drawers, or materials up to 1″ thick.

The 90° Corner Clamp (Item# KHCCC) will be available in April 2018, and has a MSRP of $39.99.
