Amazon.com Product Description
The Kreg Right Angle Clamp holds work pieces at a 90 degree angle. It has a steel dowel on one arm to fit into the pockethole and anchoring your work piece against the second work piece to be joined. An opposite arm has a 180 degree swiveling pad that automatically adjusts to the dimensions of the work piece while you finish the joint by driving a screw into the adjacent pocket hole. This clamp with a 4-1/2-inch reach and easy release handle is particularly useful for assembling box joints and joining a cabinet carcass to face frames.
From the Manufacturer
The Right Angle Clamp helps to align workpieces in 90 degree registration. The clamp is designed with a steel dowel on one arm that fits down into the pocket hole and anchors the workpiece firmly against the second workpiece to be joined. The opposite arm is fitted with a 180 degree swiveling pad that automatically adjusts to your material dimensions. Finish the joint by driving a screw into the adjacent pocket hole. Great applications include joining the carcass of a cabinet to the face frame and assembling all types of box joints.

When you need it, nothing else will do
This is one of those tools that I didn't really want to spend $25.00 on (that price when I bought it). Once I had it, I no longer strugged to pocket hole right angle joints. Before, the board might shift slightly when tightening the screws - this clamp solved that. It's one of those things that has limited use, but when you need it, nothing else will do. If you make any cabinet based work, you have to have one. I have no regrets, it works great!
Get Two!
I had to buy this at a store, but it was worth it. I'm going to order a second one here at the better price. I just used it to attach 1x2 solid wood edging to plywood for a table top. The top joint line was perfectly smooth to the fingertip over a 6 foot length, because I was able to adjust it as I was going down the edge. That would never happen with a biscuit jointer! If you are looking at the Kreg Tools, get the Pocket System and one or two of these and you will save a lot of time and don't have to buy a biscuit joiner.
What can I say? It works great for me.
I received my clamp yesterday and tried it out today. It worked great. If you have drilled your pocket holes properly (to the correct depth) and you adjust the pressure of the "vise grip" correctly, you can seat the pin side firmly into the pocket hole and clamp the two pieces together. I was able to hold the two pieces with ample force with absolutely no damage to the pieces. I'm glad that I purchased it. It is much faster than trying to use normal corner clamps. Nothing like having the right tool for the job.
