My Kreg 5 won't clamp my work pc

It seems to be broken.. I'm so sad.. I love this thing.. I'm a woodworking Grandma and I am building benches for my Churches pumpkin patch for the school children to sit on.. I have lots to do and My Kreg 5 won't work.. When ever I go to clamp my 2x4 it doesn't grab or if it does seems to be to tight and when I lower the handle it makes a horrible popping noise and pc is loose again. I can't afford to order a new one.. I think mine is about 2 years old. I've never had this problem in the past. I just don't know what to do.. Can anyone help me?

Free Hand Guard (dust collection)

Hi. I'm wondering if anyone has used the Woodpecker Free Hand Guard for dust collection on their bench top router table during pattern routing. How effective is it? It's adaptable to any router table. Continue
