Hang those drawer fronts perfectly!
These Powertec drawer front clamps are amazing! Instead of fumbling with keeping the drawer front EXACTLY where I wanted so I could attach it, these were perfect for proper placement and stability while I screwed them onto the drawer.Sturdy, easy to use, and accurate these eliminated the need for using other items, like pieces of scrap wood to hold the drawer fronts in place. Highly recommend for your drawer projects!

great tool
Great tool! Was able to install our new cabinet doors easily and they were all even.

A time saver
We've probably used these on over 300 drawer fronts already without any significant issues. They are well thought out and sturdy.

A Must Have for Drawer Face Install
These made the pile of drawer faces I needed to attach about as simple as it could have been. If you're ever installing drawer faces just get them and save yourself a lot of trouble. The back clamp is very strong and holds tight, the side fine adjustment clamps hold your overhang really well from face to face and allow for small adjustments where needed, and the front clamps hold the face tight if needed (once its all fully aligned) but can be light enough to hold the face secure while still making small adjustments. The only issue I had was that the side (fine adjustment) clamps stick out far enough that they were bumping the face to their side and if it was hitting only one side then the soft-close drawer slides were pulling the drawer in at a slight angle so the horizontal alignment was slightly thrown off. Just something to be aware of and pull the drawer back out a slight bit so the soft-close system isn't pulling the drawer in.

Great to hold the face to the drawer box while screwing it in.
These have helped tremendously with adding drawer faces to drawer boxes. When you don't have enough hands to hold it straight these clamps work great. They are so easy to use and hold it in place while you screw on the front.

Built for the task
I read some reviews about these being flimsy. I did not find this to be true. I think they strike the perfect balance of strength and thickness.They're for aligning drawer faces and holding them in place while you sink a couple screws, they don't need to be much more robust than that. Any thicker (and stiffer) and they might not fit a closed drawer.BTW - I previously owned a set of the Rockler clamps (lost one of the clamps) and these seem identical.The left / right adjusters weren't helpful for the drawers I was working on, though, because the overlays were too large. That said, had I bought the Kreg clamps I doubt they would have even fit in the clamps.TIP - If you find they don't have enough holding power for you, throw a quickclamp on before you drill and screw the box and front together.

Nice jig for installing drawer fronts.
I had a kitchen re-face project with many drawer fronts of different sizes. This allowed me to accurately line up the faces and was big time saver. I recommend.

Don’t leave them clamped overnight!
At first I really liked this clamp set. Cheaper than Rockler and appeared pretty much the same. The metal flexes a bit when clamped, but overall they work as expected. Made installing 10 drawer fronts much easier than trying to cobble together some clamps.The reason for 3 stars instead of 4 or 5? Well, it was getting late so I left on of the fronts clamped in place overnight to complete my install in the morning. I am using professionally finished custom drawer fronts (4 coats of machine-applied finish), and the rubber (oil?) from the pad leached into one of my white drawer fronts. This is IN the paint; I tried multiple ways to remove it and nothing has worked. I’m probably going to need to order another $100 drawer front now, because blue-grey circles embedded into my drawer front is just not acceptable!So if you use them quickly and don’t leave them clamped, they work well. But DO NOT leave them clamped for extended periods of time!
