Failed within two use :(

I was excited to try this as I do both woodworking and welding. Sometimes holding two pieces together to tack weld can be tricky but at this point going back to the magnetic holder as this one failed within two use. The design is a great idea but the issue is with the material they use it seems. As I was clamping down two small 11 GA steel square plates and tightening down with the lever, one basically cross threaded easily without turning it much. It seems like the soft metal (body feels like aluminum) they use cannot handle any sort of pressure when clamping down the pieces. Now it could be that mine was defective but was disappointed. I also would've returned this either way as I noticed after the failure, I was taking my precision square and the 90° miter seems just a hair off. Where it was worse was the actual flat area on the bottom. In either if you're looking for precision 90 degree miter this probably won't make you happy. I hate leaving low star but trying to be honest here. It seems like these are all re-branded items that's sold in various names. It's definitely not worth the price all these companies are asking for. For the price it should be well built and square enough there isn't an issue holding two pieces of material together. Unfortunately this item ended up going back to Amazon.
