I recently saw a clamp in a magazine used in installing cabinets – it was a small unit that flushed the cabinets and also clamper onto the stiles to hold cabinets together for fastening. It was sort of the three screw clamp – where can I find such a beast?

I have a couple I will sell to you -- cheap.
bought 'em, didn't like 'em -- went back to the small Jorgensons.

I tried 'em once. Wasn't impressed either.
I'll probably give them one more shot before I retire them to the " why did I buy that tool " shelves
I'll buy.I like them. I find them helpful in straightening out a bowed faceframe. I also gang up groups of cabinets and even though I screw the faceframes to each other with 3 trimhead screws, the Cabinet Claws help hold groups of cabinets together while I lift them into position.I still use plain old "C"-clamps with felt pads in their jaws for most cabinet work.
I purchased a couple of these at Menards...If you can wait, Amazon has a little better price.
I have only used them for one install thus far and like them, but like a previous poster said: Jorgensens work well.
Cabinet Claw....Got em and love em.....Amazon carries them.

I have used them for years and I really like them. I like the fact that you can stick a thin shim behind the front screw and pull bowed cabinet frames into perfect alignment before you screw them together.
It seems that I have to do this more than I used to! If you buy a set, I'm sure you will like them if you install a lot of cabinets.
I ues 'em and love 'em.
