Best Hold Down Clamps of 2025

"I found these clamps made my DIY tablesaw sled much more useful! They hold more securely than I expected, even without being too tight. Sometimes, I need to use wood block spacers underneath for taller pieces, as they're slightly shorter than ideal. Overall, I appreciate their compactness and ease of use."

"These clamps worked perfectly with my t-track. They are exactly what was advertised and are highly effective for holding down boards while I cut angles with my crosscut sled. The form, fit, and function are spot on, allowing me to use both hands to push the sled instead of holding the boards steady."

"I initially used the clamps from the Genmitsu 3018, but they were the worst, as they cut into the workpiece. These clamps are a much better option with their foam pads and good clamping force. However, I had to cut the bolts down for proper clearance under my X axis. Overall, they are a great improvement!"

"These clamps fit perfectly in my Shark HD4 tracks. Just a heads-up about the height, as the screws are a bit long. Overall, they feel nice and durable."

"I bought these to hold down work on my CNC. Initially, I preferred them because they're plastic and I’ve accidentally cut through metal clamps before. However, the first one broke rather easily when I applied my usual clamping force. They almost act like springs while tightening and can shear if over-tightened. Since then, I’ve had no issues, but I use them less now due to the limited clamping force they provide."

"Great product! It was exactly what I expected, with super fast shipping. I'm glad to find the only supplier in Canada with such awesome quality!"

"I find these clamps to be hard to distort without damaging my T track. The rounded ends help avoid any surface damage, and even though the T bolts fit snugly, I was able to make a small adjustment with a file. I'd definitely purchase these again!"

"I needed these clamps for holding quilts while I worked on layering and piecing them together. They are perfect for my needs, as I can easily loosen or rehang pieces with just one hand!"

"While I expected these clamps to fit perfectly, I did encounter some issues with the bolt head height being greater than 1/8”. After filing it down, I now have solid and reliable clamps. Just be cautious if your tracks are exactly 1/8”."

"I found these clamps to have fine quality and they perform just as I expected."

"The compact design is perfect for my needs."

"I appreciate that the T-tabs prevent rotation during tightening."

"I find the POWERTEC T-Track Intersection Kit to be a game changer for my jigs and fixtures! The pre-drilled holes make assembly super easy. I love how the tracks cross over, allowing me to move clamps in all sorts of directions. It’s built well and affordable, making it totally worth it!"

"On the advice of several YouTube woodworkers, I decided to purchase the Powertec T-track intersection kit along with the 4 foot and 2 foot tracks. The fit and finish quality impressed me, though I did notice some slight color differences in the track sections. It's a great product at a great price!"

"I got these to create a new worktop for my table saw. I docked 1 star because I wish they were pre-drilled. Given their typical use where precision is key, I wouldn’t recommend hand-drilling, though not everyone has a drill press."

"I bought these to hold down a cutting-board-sized piece of wood to my toolbox. They hold it down perfectly and I'm very pleased with the sturdiness. My board does not move at all, and I appreciate the good materials. I will definitely buy again!"

"I use these clamps for workholding jigs in my woodshop. I like the little protective rubber tips. They work fine in my Powertec T-tracks. However, I had to replace the T-bolt on the clamp in one project because it didn't fit, but it wasn't a big issue for me. I recommend these hold-downs, just check your T-tracks compatibility first!"

"I got these specifically for my X-Carve CNC because I'm not a fan of the plastic hold-downs that came with the kit. These work fine for my hobby projects. I added some extra washers, but they keep my boards in place perfectly while the CNC operates, which is exactly what I needed!"

"I purchased these clamps to secure wooden boards on my woodworking table with a T-track, and they work exceptionally well."

"These clamps work perfectly for my BOW Products Xtender fence. Super easy to use!"

"I find that these clamps hold my fence securely in place, making my saw much safer. Great design!"

"While the clamps are functional, one of them isn't square, which can be a bit frustrating."

"I love these clamps! They clamp stuff really well and I appreciate that they are RED! Perfect for my needs."

"I was pleasantly surprised by the quality considering the price. It's a great value for what you get."

"These clamps are just what I needed. Good quality and perfect for my intended use. Thank you!"

"I bought these to help hold the ACS430 Kreg track stable when using my Kreg track saw. For this, they work marvelously. They do feel a bit cheap and have a sticker warning against clamping too tightly, but they hold the track in place with minimal pressure. Mine slide freely up and down the T-track, and for $18, I think they’re a great deal if you don’t need maximum clamping pressure."

"I’ve never encountered a clamp that bends under its own clamping force until I tried these. They just aren’t strong enough to secure a 1-inch thick panel to my crosscut sled that has a T-track. Trying to tighten them leads to bending, rendering them ineffective. I've used low-quality clamps before, but these are the worst I've ever owned. I would not recommend them; any other brand is better."

"I purchased this item to clamp a piece of equipment to a table. A regular C clamp would obstruct the equipment, so I was looking for a flat C clamp. This works really well. I have a tabletop yarn skeinwinder that used to move around the table, but now I can clamp it down, and it still turns smoothly."
