Jorgensen clamps [Posted on 2002-02-27]
All of the Jorgensen clamps I have used in the last 35 years of wood working have,as advertised, done the job. I have tried other brands and for one reason or another they have not performed as well. I would recomend Jorgensen to any serious wood worker.

Say you have a cabinet door to assemble or repair, are you going to dig out 3/4 inch pipe clamps? I hope you don't use a heavy, cumbersome tool for all of your assembly and repair. A raised panel door is not too awfully complex but it does deserve to be treated delicately and thoughtfully. These clamps seem to be intended for cabinet doors. Lighter than a Bessey K-body or a Jorgenson (or any other brand) 1/2 inch pipe clamp, they are just as versatile, plenty strong and every bit as adjustable. The handle screws tight just like a Bessey K-body and the clamping pads are a good 2 inches or more from the bar. This gives you the same reach as a comparable Bessey and far more than most pipe clamps. I've built a lot of cabinet doors and done tons of repairs to cabinets and furniture. I'd be miserable without these. Also if you're looking for this type of clamp, check Irwin. Thier clutch locking clamps are a little more affordable, not as high quality. I definitely prefer the screw down handle over the Quick Grip or the Grip-Lock for fine tuning a good glue joint. BUY AT LEAST 4 !!!

I bought this as a fill in on an order. was quite surprised how rugged it is compared to others I have bought. will buy the jorgensen clamp from now on
A quality clamping device [Posted on 2006-07-03]
I am familiar with Jorgensen's reputation for quality tools, and this clamp is no exception. I purchased two 18 inchers and will also purchace at least two more 12 inchers from the same company.
They are the clamp I reach for first when I want solid clamping for a work piece. They are easy to operate, quick adjustability clamping and releasing. I have other clamps with the ratchet type clamping action. They are also good but do not provide the firm clamping action that is often needed for woodworking projects.
I would highly recommend the Jorgensen clamps for anyone that is looking for high quality clamps.
big joe bar clamp [Posted on 2007-10-31]
very robust bar clamps. i bought a few of them last year and am very satisfied with them. they are more robust than the besseys. the only problem could be that their shoes marr the workpiece but i do not mind because i always use thin plywood as step shoes. they are also larger than the besseys. a must.
