I was Surprised!

**MajorPanic** · 3rd March 2005, 08:09 PM

I ordered 10 veneer press screws from McJing Tools, thinking I'll use them for all sorts of things.... jigs, veneering, height adjuster on a router table (maybe).

Then I thought, well for $10.00 EACH, they will be absolute crap quality.

They arrived (as promised) within 2 days & I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the product :eek:

See for yourself...... as the picture on their web site is less than flattering.

Wow!

Thanks Major! I saw them and thought I'd get a couple myself, (router lifter maybe?) and of course there's the little end vice on the bench on a bench featured on the latest FWW... (I still haven't made up my mind whether to get that twin screw jobbie...)

I guess McJing's 'll be out of stock after this post eh?

Just did it.

Thanks for letting us know Major. I saw them in the Lee Valley catadog and they were too expensive and too heavy to buy from Canada. $10 each is a very good price.

Thanks again.

Good find. Handy little devils they will be. Thanks.

5 clamps arrived 4 hours after I placed the order. Look pretty good and has “SHOPFOX” written on it. Hmmm…

I am going to use them for router table and make some Panel clamps.

Goodonya Wongo,

I hope they live up to expectations

I tried to order five as well.

I was about to key in my details on the website when I noticed it wasn't a secure server :confused: :confused: :confused: .

NO, I don't think so!! I'll phone them then... at 4.15 on a Friday, no one was home

, then I remembered in NSW everyone knocks off an hour earlier

in summer.

Now I get to find out if they are open on Saturday!

Cheers,

P

What are the threads like, are they smooth to operate?

Hi Major,

I bought a couple from McJing at Melbourne FWW show in october last year. Found them to be really good quality. Only problem is - I paid $12-00

. Oh well - can't win 'em all. I think I'll get a few more now though!

All the best,

Chris

Thankyou Mr Major and Mr Wongo, just ordered 10, see how we go

**Termite** · 7th March 2005, 03:36 PM

Another day of infamy where every bloke went out and bought a screw.

**Iain** · 7th March 2005, 03:48 PM

He only had about 10 left after my order, time to extract digits if you want a couple.
