Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Starrett makes top-quality tools, so this SHOULD get 5 stars. Amazon's delivery and return policy DOES get 5 stars.
But the item pictured with two blocks and TWO clamps is NOT the Starrett 271A. The 271A set has NO clamps. I just got a set of two bautiful v-blocks and a nice connecting rod to keep them aligned.
If you don't need ANY clamps, order this. If you can do with ONE clamp, order Starrett 271C 2 V-Blocks (1 Pair) And Clamp Complete Set If you need the blocks and two clamps as pictured, you need the 271C set PLUS an extra Starrett 271B Clamp, 1-1/4" Diameter Hold Capacity. Check the Starrett site at [...].
The newbie who created the listing took the correct 271C description and some other manufacturer's picture and wasted my time and Amazon's shipping. Can't get too mad, though. It seems not a lot of folks except you and I know what a v-block is for.

6" Steel rod passes through each block and is firmly held by friction bushings. When using the blocks in pairs, the rod keeps the blocks in alignment and holds both of them under the work. Each block is 1-1/4" square. Includes 2 grooves in each side to hold the clamp for small or large work. Clamp is steel forged. 1-1/4" Diameter capacity. Large "V" is about 13/16" and the small"V" about 13/32" across the mouth.
