Model Shipways Set of 6 Hull Clamps for Bulkheads 3/16" or Thicker MX104

For me these clamps worked very well. They held the planking very well and are simple to use. They made planking go a lot faster. When you assemble them you just have to be a bit cautious. They will break easily until you get them put together. Once together they are strong. I plan on buying several more sets of them as I can afford them.

These clamps are a waste of money. Takes hours to build and only will fit 1/4 inch ribs or bulkheads. You waste hours gluing, cutting, and assembling and still end up with a poorly engineered product.

The clamps will be easy for any modeler to assemble and they work as expected and advertised. Planking a wooden model ship requires multiple tacking points and these make it easier. What I like best is that you can position these clamps and still (usually) have space to work around them as you attach more planks. This was not possible when using larger clamps and the plank wood does not get damaged as is often the case when using the small, black metal "alligator" type clamps for paper that many hobbyists use.

After you get them assembled, they work OK, but they are a considerable amount of work to assemble. I rather spend my time on my model rather than building tools.

Nice clamps , some assembly required, but you end up with good strong clamps

Very well constructed. Top grade modelers tool

These things are a terrific idea, but badly executed. The wing nuts are too small (they are hard to grip), the threads are too coarse to exert any decent amount of pressure, location of the adjusting screw is bad (giving way too much distance from the clamp to the clamping screw), and it is impossible to get a grip on the bulkhead because wood-on-wood is too slippery. I tried re-working them, but it is too much. I will just have to make something that really works. Phooey.

I was surprised how well they work if you're a hobby shipbuilder need to come in real Handy

See above

Came I’m definitely pleased

I didn't pay £40 just to receive more things to assemble!
