CHARNWOOD PFK03 Picture Frame Joining Kit with Corner Clamp & Hardware

I particularly needed this to help with inserting V nails into some very hard wood. It seems to do the trick. It is a lttle too big for very small frames, but looks like it is going to be very useful.

GA good value kit that is as described but could do with more clips for joining the frames together

Ideal for making the occasional picture frame,useful for checking corner angles.

This is perfect for wanting to build your own frames. Easy to use and good quality. The bracket is solid and well constructed and the extras are great, and there are lots of them. Only thing missing is instructions, but it's easy enough to "guess"

I purchased one of these about 5 years ago and found - particularly - the manual corner staple punch to be invaluable. However, during one particularly exuberant framing session recently the magnetic end came out...along with the ball-bearing...which I lost! Needless to say I had to replace it and since I was running low of the rest of the framing supplies I just bought another kit...also got another corner vice into the bargain!It gets 4-stsars because of the design of the manual corner staple tool...The design remains the same as it was, so I can guarantee I will be losing that ball-bearing in another 5 years time!

This corner clamp is excellent for small frames. I have found it much easier to use glue than the staples provided in the pack.The glue I use takes over 6 hours to dry and I have, therefore, bought 4 clamps and can assemble 2 frames a day without working at inconvenient hours. The other contents of the kit are of limited use but I understand that it is no cheaper to buy the clamps without them.

If you want precision do not get this kit, “does the job” and that is it but no quality or precision if you want a good finish
