Ok, this is clearly a newbie mistake. I have a cam clamp that I let slide all the way closed on itself. Now the jaws are shut and I can't get them open because they're locked against the toothed rail. What's the trick?

Stick a screwdriver between the jaws right behind the rail and pry it open. Won't hurt it and it won't take much pressure to do it. I have a pair of Woodcraft cam clamps that are forever doing that and some day, they're going in the fireplace.

Squeeze the two rear jaws opposite the clamping tip.
That did it! Thanks guys! It was driving me crazy and I couldn't stand the thought of sending a simple clamp back to Stewmac just to get it open or a replacement.
