CHARNWOOD PFK03 Picture Frame Joining Kit with Corner Clamp & Hardware

Took some time to figure out how to use this. Instructions are poor. But all in all its good quality

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!

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.

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

Good for what it is, inexpensive V nailer of smaller frames: probably not recommended for large frames, unless you can effectively support the opposite corner to the one being pinned.

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.

This is cheap and nasty. The frame of the mitre clamp seems solid but the screw which presses other part of the clamp is plastic and bows when pressure is applied. The V nails are impossible to apply with the punch-like tool. Maybe the press version of this would be better but I wouldn't risk the money given the quality of this article. Avoid.

This product is essentially a clamp, a magnetic punch and a collection of fasteners. The clamp is excellent and the fasteners are as expected. The punch is, unfortunately less than expected as the magnetic head is loose and easily detached making it and the spring behind it easily lost if not treated with care. It does however do the job.

OK pas de soucis;

Good for the price you pay!!
