Rockler Woodworking and Hardware is expanding its line of Clamp-It® assembly tools with the introduction of press-on corner clips that align and hold drawer, box and cabinet case pieces for faster, easier and more precise construction.
Clamp-It® Clips are available in two sizes, to fit 1/2″ and 3/4″ nominal stock, and are designed to work in tandem with two other Clamp-It® products to free up the user’s hands for driving fasteners. The clips slip onto the top corners of mating pieces and hold them at 90° while the bottom corners are secured in Clamp-It® Corner Clamping Jigs and Assembly Squares. The 1/2″ clips also can be used alone to align and hold stock for shallow drawers during assembly.
“Clamp-It® Clips are like having an extra set of hands when you’re building a drawer or cabinet,” said Steve Krohmer, Rockler’s vice president of product development. “They hold the pieces together while you drive screws or nails, but they also let you nudge the pieces as you go so you end up with a dead-square corner.”
The clips’ smooth faces provide a solid hold on solid wood and plywood but won’t mar the pieces. Openings in the clips provide access for driving fasteners, and large splines on the tops of the clips provide gripping area for easy removal. The clips are made from durable plastic, with integral slots that allow for compact, nested storage.
Clamp-It® 1/2″ Clips (58225) and 3/4″ Clips (58849) both are priced at $9.99 for a pack of four. The Clamp-It® Corner Clamping Jig (58918) and Assembly Square (29190) are sold separately. All can be purchased exclusively at Rockler.com or at Rockler Woodworking and Hardware stores nationwide, as well as through the Rockler catalog.
