Usage
The Kreg Pocket-Hole Automaxx® KHCRA-INT clamp securely holds wood pieces in position during pocket-hole joinery, ensuring precise alignment for assembly in woodworking, cabinetry, or DIY furniture projects.
Advantages
- Automaxx® auto-adjust technology instantly adapts to different material thicknesses without manual adjustments.
- 127 mm (5") clamping reach allows access to deep or hard-to-reach joints.
- Accommodates material thicknesses up to 79 mm (3-1/8"), providing versatility for various project sizes.
- Padded ergonomic handles reduce hand fatigue during extended use.
- The steel pin and swiveling pad ensure a secure grip without marring workpiece surfaces; however, the tool is optimized specifically for pocket-hole applications rather than general clamping tasks.

How it works
Insert the clamp’s steel pin into a pre-drilled pocket hole and close the handles. The Automaxx® system automatically adjusts and applies steady pressure based on material thickness while holding parts at a right angle for driving screws safely and accurately[7].
