Pros & Cons
Pros

Highlights
Quality
Quality substitute for benchdogs at lower price
Ordered another set as soon as i saw the quality and had put them to use.
Same quality as the blue ones by another company, but cheaper price.
Packaging/appearance
I took one star off because the package arrived in a padded envelope inside which was the powertec box containing the clamps.
However, the box was open and the clamps were in the box (no plastic ziploc bag).
Competitiveness
They are compatible with some rockler corner brackets.
I use them to hold an addtional wood fence on my table saw.
Just as good as my rockler brand clamps but 1/2 the cost
It would have gained a 5-star review from me if the these clamps come with a non-marring anchor.
