MSI-PRO 225-D 51120 Horizontal Quick-Release Toggle Clamps

The MSI-PRO 225-D 51120 toggle clamps, are sturdy and well made. There are no sharp edges and the action is smooth. The rubber foot has an adjustment range perpendicular to the clamp of about 1 1/8". The slot in the clamp allows an adjustment of about 1 1/8" parallel to the clamp. The base has holes for four 1/4" attachment bolts. I drilled mine out to fit the 5/16" bolts I had on hand and didn't run into any problems. The clamps will exert a lot of force which can be increased or decreased by raising and lowering the rubber foot.I'm using a pair of the MSI-PRO clamps to attach a sacrificial fence to the Biesemeyer fence on my Delta Unisaw. I recently added a router table to this saw, so I'm using the fence for the router as well, and router fences often need to be milled or split, something that's not recommended for the Biesemeyer.If I needed a tall or sacrificial fence in the past, I would attach it to the Biesemeyer with some bar clamps. This works, but it's slow to set up and the clamps are often in the way.I made a fence with a piece of MDF and made some 3 3/4" x 1 1/2" x 3" blocks to attach the toggle clamps to the MDF with bolts (the bolt holes in the MDF are counterbored for the bolt heads). It's pretty slick: I can attach the auxiliary fence in a few seconds and remove it just as quickly.Bottom line: the MSI-PRO toggle clamps are well made and useful around the shop.

I picked up a couple of these to incorporate as hold-downs on a table saw sled I built. They are working very well for the task and just have them attached using #8 x 3/4" wood screws. The holes on the base are two large to use #6 screws (just an FYI). There are multiple points of adjustment on these so they offer quite a bit of flexibility. They do tend to be a little stiff out of the box, but I suspect they will loosen up a little with some lubrication and use. So if you need a couple of toggle clamps for a saw sled and are intimidated by the multitude of options from a place like McMaster-Carr, just get a couple of these. They are flexible enough to meet most needs.

The clamp(s) I received exert horizontal pressure when the handle is in the horizontal position.And, this vendor offers only to replace the ordered item with the ordered item - no exchanges or refunds.The clamps themselves seem fine.

works good.

These clamps, contrary to what another reviewer said, rival the DeStaCo units on most points, he is going by memory, I still have them in use!They lock tight, move smoothly and are made from steel just as thick as my DeStaCo's. They are also very affordable, which is more than could be said for the DeStaCo units.All in all I am very pleased with these clamps and will buy more.

These are very useful for holding down anything you need on a work bench. I've had these on for a while now and they are nice and unobtrusive. These aren't the high-end auto adjusting clamps, but they are very nice for the price.

Solid construction, ease of use and installation to clamp an aux table saw fence in place. I was able to change out the clamping bolt for a longer one easily to accommodate my designed use. The size is large enough to handle the clamping required but not so large to be in impediment on the aux fence.

I am happy with these toggles. I purchased 5 of them for various templates and projects. They are well built, and the mechanisms work great with nice positive adjustable clamping abilities.Watch the size when you order these. These are bigger than some. For some projects you may want a smaller clamp.
