Product Description
This clamp makes pocket-hole joints as easy to clamp as they are to make. One side of the adjustable locking plier clamp is formed into a pin that mates perfectly into a 3/8″ pocket hole, and the other side has a swivel pad that allows the clamp to align perfectly with the mating surface. Comfort grips eliminate pinching when releasing the clamp. Once you try the RAC you will wonder how youve been doing pocket-hole joints without it! Also great for assembling all types of box joints….

Kreg KHC-RAC Right Angle Clamp
The major difference between this and Kreg’s original version (still available) is the handle padding, though this version does away with the inner vice-grip release lever also (it’s not really necessary). For the same money, you might as well buy these for the extra comfort, particularly if you are doing a lot of carcasses. As I said in my review of the original, there is simply no substitute for these, and they work exceptionally well.

Kreg RAC Right Angle Clamp
I needed this for a specific application. It provides a ‘third hand’ to hold pieces while they are joined. You may need two or more of these for longer pieces. Well made and holds tight.
I have always loved Kreg products, and this little item is something I was waiting a long time for them to offer. (I built my own pair long before they started selling them). There are two things wrong with this clamp.
1. The adjust screw is badly machined and binds.
2. The rubber handles are too big and tend to turn and slip when applying pressure.
For it’s intended use,, it works great.
Great tool. Wish the post end were a little thinner to fit in the hole easier, but it does hold the pieces at right angles. I’m new to Kreg Jigs and think it is a great system. Just takes practice to see how it best works for you. Glad I have this tool.
I just bought a K2 jig and both the KHC RAC right angle clamp and the KHC premium face clamp. I built a cabinet today using all three Kreg products. I am very impressed. Construction was very fast and accurate.
The RAC made it very easy to attach a solid wood edging to the plywood top and attaching the sides to the top. In fact a couple times I thought it would be nice to have 2.
The KHC made the face frame assembly quick and easy. The joints separated slightly while driving the screw but pulled together well and stayed flush.
It has been a long time since I have been this pleased with a tool. The Kreg system is going to change how I assemble projects.
