By far, Bessy clamps beats the competition. You cannot buy a better clamp of this type (or any type for that matter) than a Bessy. The design allows positive, firm pressure to be placed on the working surface. The oversized wooden handles allow just the right amount of torque to be used without busting your knuckles. The only drawback to this clamp is the tendency for the free arm to slide down the bar when using it inverted. However, its lightweight and German manufacturing more than make up for any shortcomings. You can't go wring with these clamps.

I bought these clamps so I could clamp things to my table saw. My other clamps were not deep enough to get past the fence rail. The extra depth is a plus for clamping to table saws and drill presses.

This clamp is indeed "Heavy Duty". It is very easy to apply strong pressure with it, (providing you can lift it).

What can I say. Being a Cabinetmaker for 35 years, I have over 400 different clamps. The majority are Bessey. There is no better clamp!

These heavy duty models from Bessey are a lot beefier than the picture shows. Definitely a strong clamp. I bought a couple to hold things down on the drill press, and for general purpose work. The clamping mechanism works well without any hassles. Easy to adjust, lot's of pressure, and looks substantial. Highly recommended.
