Pony 8510BP Cabinet Claw, 2-Pack

These are worth every penny. Makes clamping cabinet faces together so easy. I was able to clamp a 3” spacer to a cabinet face as well. Best Pony’s I’ve ever bought.

Works well. Makes joining cabinets easy. Good quality tool.

Excellent for aligning cabinets. A necessity.

Bought a pair of the cabinet claws for my kitchen remodel I am working on. Worked well for standard face frame alignment for the most part. I did find however a few instances in my layout where they were less effective. On a few cabinets the face frames were wider and as a result when the clamp is opened up it doesn't maintain parallel as well when you apply pressure. Same thing when trying to use to clamp a 3" filler to a cabinet to attach. My only other suggested improvement would be if they had a stepped bit supplied or a way to have the screw run free in the first cabinet which would maximize drawing power. For the most part on standard cabinets though these things made installation a breeze, and working mostly by myself it was nice to free up my hands to just drill and screw and not worry about anything shifting.

Love these clamps. The window is great for being able to drill the hole in the area that the clamp would normally take up, having the guide to drill straight is an added bonus. Other clamps you’d have to drill above or below it. If you’re install cabinets with the door hinges still on some time you’d have to secure it further from the top or bottom then you’d like, but these you can right where you put the clamp. Smooth closing and opening, and the face clamp works great for getting the cabinet faces perfectly lined up as you secure them. Must have for kitchen installers. Some times wish they would make a smaller version for when you are adding on a filler piece, if it’s only a 1/2 or 1 inch pieces the clamp doesn’t close enough for it to work.

I'm very much a reno novice, but I've been remodeling my office. I was installing new cabinets along the wall, and these tools allowed me to get everything aligned, secured, and looking great. We painted the cabinets, and it's nearly impossible to tell a gap existed between them. If you're a beginner, or just want to ensure you're accurate with each hole, these are a great help. I didn't split any of the edges or have any holes that were uneven across cabinets. It's a bit of a learning game with the tightness. The padding is thin, so, depending on the wood you're using, you'll want to be careful cranking them. Sometimes, I would slide a thin cloth or something similar between the tool and wood. I ended up with no marks or indentations.

These clamps are my go to as a professional carpenter and I should have purchased them years ago. Previously was just using various other clamps, these were a game changer. I purchased a used set for like 1/2 price and they were legit brand new. I like them so much I would have zero issues paying full price if I lost my current ones. They’re SOLID.

The PONY CLAMP for kitchen cabinets is one of those tools that I would buy EVEN IF I HAD NO NEED FOR THEM. They are just so well built, and cool. Based on a design that a Norwegian (I believe) designed many years ago, makes the PERFECT ALIGNMENT of kitchen cabinets a snap. Draws the cabinets together, aligns them, and provides a 'tap hole' for the screws. Purchasing TWO clamps, and using TWO in tandem makes the cabinet process go very fast. That's a plus when, as an installer, a pro or DIYer, you are working alone. This is one of those tools that will get stolen from your toolbox!!!!
