Question about track joiners/clamps

I use both Hillmans and SplitJaw railclamps on my layout. Frankly, I don't see much difference between the two brands in either use or ease of installation. So, I buy whichever brand is cheaper (which is usually SplitJaw). I do prefer the larger screws on SplitJaw - I use them to attach track power leads. <br /> <br />Personally, I think the over the joiner rail clamps kind of defeat the purpose of using rail clamps. To maintain a good electrical connection between track sections, you need an airtight fit where the metal joins together. I just don't see how you can accompli***hat by using the stock rail joiner and then putting an over the joiner rail clamp on top. <br /> <br />Jon <br /> <br />
