Good, but seriously flawed clamping system.

Good cover, but the clamping system is seriously flawed. It would be much better if the clamps were hinged at the bottom and if there were washers included to place under the toothed nuts, so they didn't twist the clamps sideways when tightening.

These clamps have a fatal flaw in that the split ring that holds the screws in place *always* breaks, so the clamps are worthless for actually squaring up miter joints.  I bought 4 for a framing project and they all broke.  The powder coated metal is actually reasonably good.  If, like me, you're stuck with a couple of these, you can repair them by buying heavier split rings.  Or you can tap the end of the screw for a 1/4-20 nut--this works best if you super-glue the nut onto the shaft.

The pins that secure the retraction springs to the base of the holding assembly failed on me under ordinary use.  The attachment unit works to the point of overkill due to the force required to remove it from the windshield.  Potentially a good product if the glaring engineering problems get resolved.  If you can get these at 2 for $5 or something, it might be worth it.  The current $10 price is not supported by product quality or suitability for its intended purpose, in my opinion.

Be gentle with the clamps - as other reviewers have noted, they are made with brittle plastic and can break easily if squeezed firmly (or even just opened completely). I was jumping an '07 Mustang with fairly wide battery terminals, and the plastic snapped as I tried to get the clamp around the terminal. You're not completely out of luck if this happens but it can be tricky to make good, safe contact to a battery terminal with a busted clamp.

I contacted Rugged Geek through their website's support form, and received great customer service. They handled the issue even outside of business hours and expedited a new set of cables to me. I was actually well past the one-year warranty (1.5 years), but especially with this being a known flaw I was glad to see them honor it.

In conclusion, the initial inconvenience was very disappointing, but the great support did a lot to make up for it. I've used the RG1000 (with my '05 Explorer, 4.0L V6) a number of times and it has gotten me out of a few binds, so all things considered: a 5-star product before the clamp broke, minus three stars for a big design flaw, plus two for good customer service that is often hard to find these days.

clamp size is inaccurate.  (Others go into more detail)
Returned as it would not fit.

Clamp itself is fine.  The plastic handles break very easy, necessitating the use of a tool to remove and reinstall, defeating the purpose.  I will not buy more of this type.

The price is right, but the clamps are not.  I found 1 in 3 to be very hard to use.  For many of these, it is VERY hard to turn the screw.  I suspect a machining problem.  So the usable ones are a reasonable price, just prepare to throw some away.

It got the job done, but was a little light-weight, but then, I expected that.  I did have one disappointment.  I had bought these to clamp furniture together while gluing.  This required threading through several pieces, which meant taking the strap out of one side and then reconnecting the strap after threading it through the chair parts.  It was virtually impossible to work the webbing back between the body of the clamp and the orange eccentric clamp that folds down to lock the webbing in place.  I ended up taking a punch and driving out the pin holding the orange clamp, placing the webbing in position and tapping the pin back into place.
I believe the unit could have been designed where you could remove and slip the strap back in as needed.  I eventually ended up replacing the pin with a small bolt.
Another note - I bought two of these - one of one brand and one of the other, just to see if there was any difference.  They were exactly the same product, except one came loose in a plastic bag and the other came in a retail box.

Not bad, until you realize that the riveted section clamps are loose and wobble. So at the top, the head just wobbles on something that can't be tightened. Great packaging though, but I returned the stand anyway. Maybe the expense should go to the actual product.

See a comment below, praising their customer service. I have to give them a lot of credit (and 2 more stars) for going way above the norm.

I bought 2 of these 48" Cabinet Masters through Amazon for $23.97 each.  At that price, they were a steal.  However, one of the clamps arrived with the jaws jammed together.  This problem, it seems, has been widely reported.  I cannot understand why it has not been addressed, now that the clamp has been out as long as it has (unless the sale priced units I bought were from old inventory).  It was easy enough to unjam them with a screwdriver but I would not want to have to do that while glue is setting up.  So, I'd hesitate to buy more of these at full price (& maybe would consider the new Jet alternative, which has some innovative features.)

The clamp for holding it to a table is great, No Issues there.  It is quite cumbersome to move both arms into a position where both monitors are at the same level, and I've found that the right mount keeps slipping and the monitor droops forward.

I purchased this system along with the Universal Mount and the Leather Stropping Hone because of the overwhelming positive reviews and the reasonable cost. I was looking forward to putting a nice edge on several of my knives. To start with I had a problem with the Universal Mount when it bound so tight to the clamp that it wouldn't rotate and couldn't be removed. Finally after soaking it in penetrating oil for about an hour I was able to get it to release. I can make it fit properly but it sure doesn't fit correctly out of the box. The next problem was with the knife clamp. The screw closest to the clamping edge is tightened so tight that it is impossible to unscrew in order to open the clamp. The steel used for this screw is so soft that the head stripped very easily, and I now need to find a way to drill it out without damaging the threads in the aluminum clamp. Also need to find a replacement screw somewhere. We'll see how that goes but at this point the entire system is useless. Needless to say I'm not a happy customer and feel like I've completely wasted my money.
UPDATE: I was finally able to remove the clamp screw by separating the 2 halves of the clamp and using a some vise grips to break the screw loose. Using a replacement screw for the clamp I was able to practice and put a respectable edge on a couple of old pocket knives. With some more practice and a bit of patience I can see where this system will work pretty well for a variety of sharpening applications. I'm upgrading the rating but only to 3 stars because of the pure pain that it was to get it working.

Pros: Works, holds what you clamp down into it. Seems too be well made, good construction.
Cons: The swivel function seems not to want to tighten down correctly. Even after wrenching down on the tightening lever still has slight play back & forth. I have read that others have had this issue with it.

The frame itself is solid, yet light. However, the suspension system was designed by people that don't understand gravity, and, given the failure of the quick release buckle on the waist band, maybe the materials are not that good.

Here's the gravity issue: the waist strap, which should carry a substantial part of the pack load, is attached to the frame several inches above the waist band. So, when the pack is loaded and gravity wants to pull it down, it can just slide down for about 8 inches before the straps on the top part of the waist band catch. In other words, none of the weight on the pack is going to be transferred to your lumbar region. The weight will totally be on your shoulders.

Now, let's examine those shoulder straps. Right off, the shoulder harness suffers from the lack of a sternum strap, which is kind of a basic feature of most backpacks. On both ends, the shoulder straps are held to the frame by clevis pins through the shoulder straps grommets. Rather than something like a cotter pin holding those clevis pins in place, the Stansport uses a very lightweight wire ring, such as your auto repair shop might use to attach your key to your repair order. The wire rings are somewhere on the order of 20 gauge--pretty thin. The top of the shoulder straps is attached to a 1.5" clevis pin that runs through the top ladder-rung bar (0.75"). It is attached to the top side of the bar. The clevis pin runs up through the bar, so the head is under the bar. The pin runs through the grommet on the top side of the bar. The pin is longer than needed, so the whole thing is kind of loose goosie, and the only thing holding the strap on is the tiny wire ring--a little piece of 20 gauge metal. This I remedied by mounting the strap under the bar. So, this pack frame is well outfitted to hold packs in place while you are upside down.

I modified the waist belt to firmly attach it to the bottom ladder rung. I revised the attachment of the shoulder strap. These mods took three hours and  made it a working pack frame. Then, the first day I used it, and with a very light load, the quick release buckle, which forms the main attachment on the waistband, broke.

You can make this pack frame work, but you have to put some effort in to correcting the problems. And, you may need a few replacement parts, too. That's why I rated it a two.

The clamp is poorly designed. There is a little nut inside the housing (diificult to see from the picture) that the bolt screws into. The nut was floating around in the housing and takes a lot of time and effort to thread the bolt into the nut because it keeps moving around inside.
Second is the clamp doesn't adjust much wider than shown and my handlebars are too thick for the clamp.
Its a good idea but the clamp tightening mechanism is flimsy and frustrating and rigid specs around the width you can clamp this device too makes it so I cannot recommend this to others.

The intake looks really nice and a cool sound! But something things could have been better, for example:
The clips/clamps suck! The way they are design doesn't not all you to use a ratchet to properly tighten them. Especially with a small amount of room to work with it was very difficult to tight them.

Next, the handle to secure the pipe to the car wasn't long enough -_-.

Finally, BE CAREFUL when install the hose to air bypass thermal valve. It seems to happen a lot but of course mine broke off and the OEM wasn't long enough to reach other wise I would have just kept it on there. So if it doesn't not move, then don't try to make it because it will not come a loose.

If you're not very careful, you can easily over tighten the clamp, causing it to snap. I was so sad when it happened. I plan to get another, but probably not another one of these, because of the clamp.
