So, I bought this One Time Tool in July 2020. Generally I'm a big fan of a number of their One Time Tools. But the Clampzilla is driving me crazy.
I finally was able to use it to clamp together a 1-3/8" board I'm gluing together, but it seems far more difficult to use than just using a few Jet parallel clamps. It takes forever to get the plugs setup for the correct size for the individual board, then it gets in the way while applying the glue, and makes for a glue mess when placing the boards together and getting the clamp to close.
Is it just me? Or am I doing this wrong. I'm following their directions. Now this may provide a boatload of clamping pressure, and keep boards together, but using Woodpeckers Bar Clamps (which they've discontinued, but are very useful) and some parallel clamps is so much easier.
Anybody have this and getting good use out of it?
