Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The new K Body REVO clamp range from BESSEY offers some 30% more clamping force, and newly-designed pressure caps and work-piece contact elements also protect the work-piece exceptionally well. The Vario K Body REVO clamp enables the head to be adjusted at the press of a button. The new K Body REVO clamp from BESSEY achieves a powerful 7,000 N clamping force – some 2,000 N more than usual. In addition, the jaw face has been increased by 30%. Three removable and glue-repellent pressure caps guarantee work piece protection. Adjustable work piece contact elements prevent direct contact between the work piece and the serrated steel rail under full utilization of the jaw face. The tilting K Body clamp adapter (available separately) KR-AS which is easily pushed on to the clamping jaws enables clamping requirements outside of the 90° range to be fulfilled. The tilting adapter adjusts to the work piece, regardless of whether fitted in a v-shape or at a slanted parallel. The additional module is infinitely tilt-able within a range of 30°. 12 " K Body REVO, 1,500 lb clamping force, 3 3/4" Throat depth, 3 removable jaw pads, 2 component ergonomic handle, removable material protector pads, removable end stop, can be attached to a work bench using Bessey TK-6 clamps Set includes 2 pieces KR3.512 K Body REVO clamps, 2 pieces KR3.524 K Body REVO Clamps and 2 KBX20 extenders designed to join to Bessey K Body REVO or classic K Body clamps to increase opening capacity

These clamps are a huge upset for the money spent on them at the time they first came out. They have good clamping power, but these clamps are a pain unless you have them laying down on a table. The quick release setup they have is based off of a very fine change in pitch in regards to the clamp bar itself, and these either always slide open when you dont want them to, or wont open when you need them to. I find myself wasting plenty of time when trying to clamp cabinet boxes together, and fighting with the release and stop action of this clamp is not fun. Wish I could send them back, I hate them!!!!

This review is from: Bessey KRX1224 K Body REVO Fixed Jaw Parallel Clamp Kit Includes: 2-12-inch, 2-24-inch K Body Clamps and 2-KBX20 Extenders (Tools & Home Improvement)

I have ordered multiple packages of these clamps (I build furniture and cabinets on the side), and every one of them has arrived damaged, regardless of who ships them. Bessey ships them in an open box with no support materials (the problem is even worse on the larger versions of this clamp) and the heavy clamps crash around in the box and shatter plastic feet, head covers, etc. Amazon and others have been good about replacing the damaged ones, but at least one out of every package of four has been damaged in every shipment I've received, so if you are in a hurry for them because of a scheduling issue, buy them where you can pick them up in person to avoid the delays of exchange.

As for the clamps themselves, they are great performers. The only clamps I've used that surpase them are the Jorgensen brand of parallel clamp, which are a bit sturdier and the mechanism that allows the clamp to come apart to join two together into a longer clamp is a spring-loaded metal device that works much better than the fragile and cumbersome plastic stop on these clamps.
