Prior to purchasing this I was using the standard Festool screw clamps on my guide rails. They work okay but reaching underneath and fiddling around to screw up the vertical handle is a time consuming faff, and never felt like the best solution. Festool ownership is all about simplicity and ergonomic excellence, and that's why I invested in the upgrade to this quick action clamp. Using it has transformed my work flow.Two parts come with the clamp, an end stop and the main clamp body. Both secure to your guide rails with a quick lever action. The things I love about the system are the super-quick and efficient pistol grip squeeze action clamping and release,

...it keeps thinking of new and ingenious ways for me to spend money.A problem I frequently encounter is clamping the plunge saw rail to a board, often one narrower than the surface supporting the board. This necessitates clamping the rail to the board itself. It can be done with the normal Festool clamps, but this is fiddly. Then, along comes this device - plonk the rail on top of the board with the stop against it, slide up the grip, squeeze the trigger and, hey presto! rail clamped to board, ready for cutting. Like all Festool, it is expensive, but it is so suitable for purpose that I regard it as money well spent.

Since this arrived I've not used my other clamps. Both items needed the screw removing and the lock moving by one bolt head flat, now its easly to fit, slide, lock and use. The fact that the release trigger spring positively pulls the clamp away from the wood means the tail can immediately be lifted off the wood.

Fantastic piece of kit, makes it a lot easier and quicker to place track in position. I have a SCHEPPACH track and it fits perfectly, was slightly tight at the start but running it up and down a few times sorts that out

Invaluable kit for working single handed with sheet materials and the Festool rails. Set the stop st one end and tighten using the trigger. Saves walking to the other end of your work to unclamp, saves time. Love it!

Simple, beautifully made from the highest quality components and does exactly as claimed. Typical Festool design, nothing added or taken off, brilliant for clamping saw tracks to sheet material.

This is very handy when attaching a guide rail across planks or boards. Its quick to use, but not 100% accurate as you tighten it up. Can move about a 1mm or so, so not for precise working.

Bought this for my Makita track and plunge saw. Fits really nice very easy to use with the Makita track. Makes you very efficient in cutting sheeting, worktops and doors.

Quick to set up and easily adjustable. Save the journey to the other end of the workpiece to tighten traditional clamps.
