Key Features
Overview
The Kreg KHCCC 90-Clear Choice Corner Clamp is a dedicated assembly clamp for holding two workpieces at a right angle during joinery and case assembly. This is a corner clamp designed for holding 90-Clear Choice corners and T-joints during assembly. Model Number: KHCCC. If you build boxes. drawers. cabinets. or simple shop projects. this clamp gives you a much easier way to keep parts square while your hands stay free to drive screws or other fasteners.
What makes this clamp useful on the bench is how it solves a common assembly problem: parts want to slip. twist. or open up the second you reach for the drill or driver. The V-wedge jaw layout grips the inside and outside faces of the mating pieces so they sit at a precise 90-Clear Choice angle. Kreg also designed a cutout into the clamp so you can drive a pocket-hole screw without taking the clamp off first. For pocket-hole joinery. that is the whole point. Clamp it. drive it. move on.
The Kreg KHCCC 90-Clear Choice Corner Clamp uses Automaxx auto-adjust technology. which means you do not have to stop and reset the clamp every time material thickness changes within its working range. Just squeeze the handles and the clamp adjusts automatically to thin stock or material up to 1 inch thick. On real projects. that saves time when you bounce between drawer parts. cabinet components. and face-frame related work. The thumbwheel lets you regulate clamping pressure. so you can dial in the hold you want without overdoing it.
Build quality matters on clamps because cheap jaws flex and poor contact surfaces let assemblies walk out of square. This one uses all-metal construction with cast aluminum V and wedge clamp pads. Those pads are there for a reason: they support the work securely at the corner and help maintain alignment while you fasten. Padded ergonomic handles also make the clamp easier to squeeze repeatedly if you are doing production-style cabinet or drawer assembly.
In practical shop use. this corner clamp is not to Kreg pocket-hole projects. It can also hold parts for nails. wood screws. and other fastening methods as long as the work falls within the clamp’s geometry and 1 inch maximum capacity. That makes it a solid general woodworking clamp for right-angle assembly. especially when you want better consistency than trying to balance parts by hand or tape them together before fastening.
This Kreg clamp is suited for woodworkers. cabinet installers. trim and finish carpenters. and serious DIY users building storage. shop furniture. boxes. and casework. If most of your work involves flat glue-ups. this is not the clamp you reach for first. But if you regularly build square assemblies and want a faster way to hold corners accurately. the Kreg KHCCC 90-Clear Choice Corner Clamp earns its spot fast.
Keep Assemblies Square While You Fasten
This clamp is built around right-angle assembly. so it does more than just squeeze parts together. It helps keep the corner square while you install the fastener. which is where a lot of assemblies go wrong.
- Works on 90-Clear Choice corners and T-joints
- V-wedge jaws grip mating parts to maintain alignment
- Cutout allows driving a pocket-hole screw without removing the clamp
Adjusts to Material Without Slowing You Down
When you are switching between different stock thicknesses. constant clamp readjustment gets old fast. Automaxx auto-adjust technology keeps the workflow moving by adapting automatically while still letting you fine-tune pressure with the thumbwheel.
- 1 inch maximum capacity
- Automaxx auto-adjust technology adapts to thick or thin material
- Padded ergonomic handles improve comfort during repeated use

Pro Tip
Set the thumbwheel for the holding pressure you want. then let Automaxx handle thickness changes as you move through parts. If you are using pocket-hole joinery. keep the clamp in place while driving the screw through the jaw cutout so the corner stays put until the joint is locked.
Tool Nut’s Take
Why the Kreg KHCCC 90-Clear Choice Corner Clamp earns bench space
This is the kind of clamp that saves more frustration than it takes up in space. especially if you build boxes. drawers. or cabinets on a regular basis.
- Who it’s for: Woodworkers. cabinet guys. finish carpenters. and DIY builders who need faster. more accurate right-angle assembly.
- Why it stands out: The V-wedge jaw design. auto-adjusting Automaxx mechanism. and pocket-hole screw access make it more useful than a generic clamp for corner work.
- Worth knowing: This is a purpose-built assembly clamp with a 1 inch maximum capacity. so it shines on corner and T-joint work rather than general clamping jobs.
