it has a quick release button on the handle to adjust close to what you want to clamp. please dont throw away. if anyone has bought this and doesnt care for it. this is a good clamp, im very pleased with mine. the plastic is used to keep from scaring what you are clamping. ship it to me. this is a good product.
Press the quick clamp button, lean over and slide the screw with your chin, forehead, or knee.3. Don't lose it or else you'll have to duct tape it to keep it closed.I can't fathom what they were thinking when they decided to actually sell this thing. Even if you use the quick slide button to close it on what you're clamping, it still takes 12 seconds to reach full pressure and another 12 to release it when you're done.I really thought this would be handy for when I've got my hands full holding two or three things I'm trying to clamp. That is not a joke. Now press the tighten button and wait while the screw is tightened. It comes with a little wrench tucked into the side so when the motor gives out, you can pull out the wrench, stick it in a hole in the top and tighten it the rest of the way.I think the proper usage goes something like this:1.
But no, the quick slide feature only works when it's held in the vertical position. Any other angle and it takes two hands to operate.Other problems: It's not even a proper C-clamp, it's stamped steel and plastic. While still holding your workpiece, remove the tightening wrench from the side of the clamp and insert into the hole in the top.5. Turn the wrench to tighten the clamp to the desired pressure and return the wrench to the slot.This thing is useless as far as I can tell. Be patient.4. Get this: going from fully open to fully closed takes *5 minutes and 24 seconds*. I could just grab this tool, hold it in place, press the button, and be done.
It's surprisingly heavy for how weak the motor is. I was so disappointed by how slow it was, I just had to time it. While holding your workpiece with one hand, grasp the AutoClamp and position it in the desired clamping location.2. By the time it completed, the batteries were so weak it hardly had any clamping force left. The battery compartment is held closed with a tiny black screw. Seems like every few years I get suckered into buying another B&D product, and I am always disappointed. They even knew it doesn't have enough clamping force.
I bought this a while ago and while it sounds like a great idea, it just doesn't work very well. So, I guess it works, but I don't use it at all because it is just too weak. It is battery powered and is REALLY slow and weak. So, you pretty much need to adjust it by hand to where it is all but clamped to begin with.
Not using yet. But I like it.
I like the auto adjust feature; it makes using the clamp quick and easy.It also povides a tight grip.
