5.0 out of 5 stars Bessey Bar Clamps Beat All, June 20, 2000

I have recently puchased several sizes of the Tradesman clamps offered by Bessey. I am delighted with their performance. The Bessey clamp is far superior to other bar clamp offerings from suppliers such as Jorgensen. The Bessey clamps have a much sturdier bar and larger clamp screw with ACME threads. They also come with protective plastic pads that do not marr the project. Jorgensen on the other hand requires you to purchase protective pads seperately and they tend to leave an oily mark. The Bessey clamps are simple to operate and the serated edge and set screw system work flawlessly. By far the most clamp for the money.

The clamps are made the right way stiff and sturdy. They are better than other clamps similar to this stile, stay away form the cheap clamps. I have the 6", 12", 18", 24", 30" 36" clamps and I know I will buy some more, which I just ordered 6 more of the TGJ2.506 2 ½" x 6, little bit pricey, but WELL WORTH THE MONEY.

The Bessey 6" clamps are the most useful clamps in my workshop. These clamps are used at least 10 times more often than any of my larger clamps. The recent sale (now over) made these 6" clamps a best buy. I wish I had bought more.
