These are the only Festool clamps that I have had any luck with. They have a learning curve. Before I snug them down I pull them back 1-2mm short of the piece that I am securing. Even then I only pull the handle back until the piece is snug, I don't pull it as far as it will rotate. If I pull the lever too far it wants to pull the base away from my FMT and it cuts into the steel bar leaving a "notch/burr". I seldom use the lock down knob from underneath because I move them around a lot. I really like these. It was nice that they made them short enough so a sander or plane will clear them when using 3/4" stock.
