Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Tightening the clamp and securing the edge are affected by simply twisting the handle. To clamp beading and edging strips to flat panels, a clamp is needed which prevents the material from slipping, does no harm to the clamped surfaces and provides a secure hold while, at the same time, permitting the clamped parts to be realigned if necessary. The maximum pressure applied to the edge is 450-500 lbs; the spindle travel of the pressure plate is 1-3/4 in. Panels of between 3/8 in. and 2 in. thickness can be clamped.
Product Description
Features a compound screw mechanism which allows simultaneous engagement of the top and bottom pressure pads while pressure is applied to the front edge of the countertop. Can clamp surfaces up to 2-1/8" thick. Pressure pads use soft plastic caps for gentle, no-slip clamping. Strong aluminum frame.

Bessey EKT55 Clamp,
By
This review is from: Bessey EKT55 One-Handed Edge Clamp (Tools & Home Improvement)
This clamp fills a specific need pretty well (at a significant price). I have used it primarily to install face frames on cabinets. It is easy to use and light considering its size. The mechanism worked smoothly. My only disappointment was that it did not apply as much pressure as I hoped. This may be because it was trying to grip a finished surface. I think it might do better on raw wood. I would be concerned if I needed a lot of pressure and the inside of the cabinet was laminated. I tried the Gross-Stabile model and took it back to get these. I am happy I did.

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

Bessey EKT-55 edge clamp,
This review is from: Bessey EKT55 One-Handed Edge Clamp (Tools & Home Improvement)
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...
