I have a love-hate relationship with my Kreg Automaxx clamps. Sometimes they auto-adjust to the thickness of the workpiece(s) I'm trying to clamp with no problems. Other times, I have to squeeze the crap out of them to get them to work, or they just don't work at all. I've played around with the micro adjust knob, which helps sometimes but not always.
What am I missing? Is there a trick to using these things?
