Rutlands pocket hole clamps.

Has anyone on here got any experience of the rutlands pocket hole clamps which come in a set of four.
Are they any good or is the price too good to be true as in I should avoid them.
I've got a lot of pocket hole jointing to do in 12mm mdf for some Wainscott I'm doing in my house so a clamp to help with slippy gluey joints will be a great help.

I don't know about the Rutlands clamps, specifically, but I have had trouble keeping everything tight whilst snugging up joints. I have some of the Kreg clamps, but they are strong and metal (and expensive!), and they do work fairly well.

I wouldn't be keen on the pads on those clamps - it looks like there would be a risk of the metal part pushing through if they were really tight, and that would mar a visible surface. You could use a packer though that would make the whole thing a bit more awkward.

Mind you, for 10 quid each they're not hugely expensive.

If you do get some, post a review?
