Great clamps! [Posted on 2001-04-10]
You can never have enough clamps! While these may not be as good as the Bessey K-Body clamps they do work really well for most applications. Adjusting the clamp is really easy to do and alot more efficient then most bar clamps.
Not a bad Intermediate Clamp [Posted on 2002-02-20]
This is a pretty decent clamp. If you need a real clamp though go with a K-body or a JORGENSEN Cabinet Master Clamp. Works great when used with face frame clamps.
Inspect it before you buy [Posted on 2003-07-31]
The clamp looks great until you start look closer at it. If you look at the lower jaw you will notice that the hole for the hand screw is usually not drilled staight or in the center. When the screw is not straight it can cause the work to misalign as you tighten it or if it's not drilled in the center, can weaken the clamp. I still like the clamps but when I buy them I go to the store and inspect each one I buy. I don't mind spending extra for quality tools but I think Bessey can do better than this.
Bessey wins in medium duty as well [Posted on 2003-09-30]
The nice thing about the Bessey Tradesmen's is that they are heavier duty than the competition, in the medium duty class, and you don't have to take out a second mortgage to afford a set of them. The locking mechanism works without any hassles, and the grip is strong. All in all a nice piece of equipment. A major competitor sells this model for less money, but it is also a lighter weight clamp. I like them all. Bessey makes great stuff, you can't go wrong with these. They are a great general-purpose clamp. Highly recommended.
Packaging packaging, packaging packaging [Posted on 2007-02-02]
I ordered 4 of these 36"-ers and 4 24"-ers. I received 8(EIGHT) boxes on my porch- 4 boxes were 26x19x8.75inches and 4 were 40x12x15.75 THAT's a LOT of box space on your front porch!!!I saw a review from someone who whinged about the LACK of packaging on clamps and how his stuff was damaged and he thought Amazon was better at packing stuff. I guess they took it to heart- or heart body and soul. Danged if you do, danged if you don't. The cardboard I can recycle, but the big bubbles are type 4 plastic which I can't recycle here in Moab, Utah. There was plenty of space in one of the J4 size boxes for all eight clamps with perhaps a little different wraping to keep them from banging together, and the shipping! For me it was free, but 7 more boxes than necesary? Oh, the clamps work just fine.
