Pony Jorgensen Adjustable Clamp Pony 1225 Rapid Acting Band Clamp

what a time saver. perfect corner glue joints.wished i had purchased this tool years ago.Quality and ease of effort to use..

I was told to buy a "Strap Clamp" to help me build an RC boat from a wood kit that I had. I had never heard of one, so I hit Amazon to find one.I found this one which seemed to fit the bill for what I needed.Shipping was fast, and the product seemed pretty nicely made. It was easy to use and had plenty of length on the band for it to work for what I would think are a ton of projects.I used it to hold the main hull together on the RC boat that I was building right away. Wow. What a difference this product made on the build!! This was the second kit I had built, and the first time I had to keep measuring for square with a triangle, and hope that every other part was actually square. With the strap clamp, I just put it together with some 30 minute epoxy on the ends, adjusted the clamp to hold things the way that they were supposed to, tightened it up so it was snug (but not really tight) and let the hull sit. It came out with PERFECT 90 degree square angles.I'm really glad I got this. It made the project much easier while also making it come out nicer.Highly recommended!!

I have other versions of this type of clamp that I use a lot for picture frames. This one is far better.All of them can be a bit tricky to use but it works very well and really squares up and holds the frame. Because the locking devices are spring loaded they work a lot better than ones you need to lock manually.

Works as expected. It's as easy as another of this style clamp to use. Glue easily comes off the rubber. The clamps to bind the webbing are strong and don't slip.

good

I use it for making picture frames, especially large ones

These are pretty good band clamps and I’ve used them on a variety of projects. They are strong enough that I have been able to use them for several cabinet projects that were too long for my 48” cabinet clamps. My main problem with them is that on three of my clamps, the plastic has broken in the same place over the course of several months (see photos). I’ve emailed Jorgensen each time, and they’ve admirably replaced them each time at no cost to me. But the design should be more robust from the beginning. The plastic at these break points should be thicker or wider. The clamps should not break from average/not heavy use. Otherwise, they do the job.

I purchased a Powertec mount clamp several years ago when I started building frames for my wife’s artwork, I needed to buy a couple more band clamps so I could glue-up runs of frames for her.The Powertec has worked okay but it’s somewhat finicky and time consuming do use, so ydecided to go with the Pony clamps and was amazed at how much easier they are to work with.First off, the pony clamp strap locks are spring loaded (the Powertec ones aren’t’) and that make tensioning the clamp straps much quicker to tighten. The clamp handle turns more freely too. The net result is a faster & tighter set-up.All in all, I couldn’t be happier with the Pony strap clamp. I’ll probably buy a couple more, & I recommend it heartily.
