Mine are gathering dust. They will work with effort for a 90 degree butt joint as is illustrated in their ads, but will make a mess of miters. The top surface of the base is not flat but dished, causing miters not to close up at the bottom, which is hidden from view during the clamp up. They are also bulky and somewhat hard to position with the work. Some minor modifications to the design, and quality control on the manufacturing side, could turn this product into a winner.

The 76A's look much like the one pictured here. They work well - but a bit of masking tape on their metal parts help in preventing marking up the wood.
