WEN 36053C 6" Quick Release Track Saw Clamps (2 Pack)

i've read over the reviews and had my doubts of the quality of these with all the negative comments about them breaking easily. took a chance and got them anyways, they've been excellent value for the money, you're using them to secure a saw track, not clamp panels. not sure why anyone would put enough force on them to break, they'll easily secure the track without any issues at all.

I was reluctant to purchase these based on some of the reviews that these are flimsy and cheap. However, that has not been my first experience. I think people need to remember these are track saw clamps and not regular clamps, they’re not meant to be over tightened, just tight enough to hold the track in place. As long as you use these for their intended use, save your money and order these.

So, for just under $17 for a pair, these are a great option. Yes, they look quite cheap and don't feel great, but they work quite well. They also have the added benefit of a reversed grip, which is more comfortable and easy to use in the designed application. One thing it would benefit from is a riser on the pad, just to provide a bit more room for getting your hand under the track.

I would rate these 10 stars if I could. I bought these because the reviews said they work with ridgid tracks. I am not happy at all with the included pair that RIDGID offers with their kit. They want $45 for them if you bought them separately but WEN charges less than $20. They are very versatile to use around the shop I use them for everything else including track saws!

Nice clamps for use with the WEN track saw setup. They clamp down well and release well also.

These work great. I had to file them a little to work with my Kreg track, but they fit.

Bought this whole system. To be honest I am cant I waited so long. This has saved me so much time and is amazingly accurate. No more hauling out table saw and wrestling with it to cut 4x8 sheets of ply. Do yourself a favor and buy the whole kit. You will not regret it. Don’t listen to the old grumpy guy saying you don’t need just clamp a board to it. The clamp set up and tracks are simply fantastic. I am now 2 years on it and it has paid for itself simply by being precise.Long review but I just love it and got grief for buying but glad I did

1. Clamp is really flimsy without much holding power which I should have expected in this range.2. You can’t use it for tables with dog holes because of the little tab that sticks off the end. It can only be used for tracks. Many of the other “track clamps” on the market can be multi-purpose and you can use them as hold downs with dog holes as well.3. They are inexpensive and the quick clamp seems cool, but I think you’re better off buying a cheap traditional type with the screw guide where you have to screw it down and release it again with the screw guide. You get better strength, more versatility as a hold down with dog holes, and they are inexpensive as well. I bought the 2 pack of the powertec for 31.99 and they are great.4. The Festool ratcheting type are my favorite that I own, but they’re really pricy. Just thought I would throw that out there. For budget my favorite is powertec screw guide. For convenience/quality the Festool ratcheting are awesome.
