Bessey EKT-55 edge clamp [Posted on 2003-12-13]
Very pleasant to use. The large metal casting is suprisingly lightweight, and some of the mechanism inside is plastic, so it is nice and light. I used mine to clamp edge molding onto plywood while gluing, and it gripped just fine, no slippage at all (so yes, to the reviewer above, it's great for bare wood). Much faster and easier to use than bar clamps. Now if only they can dramatically lower the price so I can get a bunch of 'em instead of just one...
Throat Depth Counts! [Posted on 2004-05-03]
I wasted money on this clamp because the description didn't mention the throat depth. I needed to clamp a 3" ear to the top of cabinet sides thus making the toe kick by overhanging the cabinet top. This clamp looked to be perfect, but the throat depth was about an inch shy. The side grabbers wouldn't reach past the ear to grasp the cabinet edge. The clamp would be OK for edge banding, but if you are doing anything else, be sure to check the required throat depth

Perfect. What a great idea. Bought 12 of them. Great for face fronts on shelves.

It never ceases to amaze me that someone would rate this great clamp poorly because he was not smart enough to know what he was buying. The clamp is in fact a great clamp. I have 6 and use them almost daily. It does exactly as the ad states.
