I feel your pain. I used to be indecisive, but now, I’m not so sure.
Just to add to the choices there are Right-Angle Assembly Clamps, from Lee Valley. The price is certainly right.
I have not used them, but I think I will pick up a pair or two to use on a Christmas project (firewood box) I need to make this week.

Personal opinion I think the Bessey clamp is the superior design. I have used them and while they work they are not perfect. A long time ago I got a set of corner clamps from Sears. They work but .... I think it best to construct on table and use the measure on the diagonal to work best.

I have 2 or 3 of the Bessey corner clamps still in the packaging. They were $8 or $9 each at Lowe's when they were getting rid of Bessey stuff. Glad to read that they are "superior design".

Be well,

Given that many are unhappy with their woodpeckers corner clamps this may not make much sense, but it's interesting.

I have a project that I think could be greatly help with this sort of clamp but since I don't own them I'm not sure just how well they work.

Sale ends soon so any help one way or the other would be great.

No, I do not own any of those box clamps.

Maybe that is the reason I have so much trouble achieving "really square" boxes.
