Boxes or drawers are square when their diagonal measurements match, but it can be difficult to install a bar or pipe clamp across the longer diagonal to shorten it. Once in place, the clamp often obstructs the corners of the assembly, making measurement difficult. Its pressure can even crush delicate workpiece corners. This innovative clamp solves all these challenges simply and elegantly. It features two pivoting corner brackets with non-marring roller posts that fit down over opposing corners of what you're squaring. One bracket is fixed to a winding mechanism, and the other is attached to a non-stretch nylon strap. Once the corner brackets are fitted in place, just turn the handle on the ratcheting mechanism to tighten the strap, shortening the diagonal and pulling the assembly into square. The corner brackets don't cover the corners, ensuring a clear view for easy measuring. A flip-open, blue interior arm on the handle can be extended to provide extra torque when needed. If the handle's knob interferes with the measuring tape, it can be pulled off and then snapped back on. Rotating the orange release lever under the winding mechanism eases clamping pressure incrementally—helpful for making minor adjustments to the clamp setting.
