I own several of these Bessey clamps in various lengths, and I think the world of them. I have never experienced the bar "bowing" like other clamp bars tend to do. With a reasonable pricetag, I think these are some of the better all-around clamps on the market.

This clamp is the perfect little tool to have around your house when you're building or mending small drawers or chairs. This is not a heavy duty piece, but you can manually tighten it to the point where it damages your object. Its important to remember that it doesnt have cushions and you need to use some kind of wooden or hard rubber spacer to protect the surface of your object.

This clamp is the kind of tool that once you have it you'll wonder why you didnt buy one sooner. I have them in several different lengths and would be lost without them.

The nice thing about the Bessey Tradesmen's, is that they are heavier duty than the competition, in the medium duty class, and you don't have to take out a second mortgage to afford a set of them. The locking mechanism works without any hassles, and the grip is strong. All in all a nice piece of equipment. A major competitor sells this model for less money, but it is also a lighter weight clamp. I like them all. Bessey makes great stuff, you can't go wrong with these. They are a great general purpose clamp. Highly recommended.

I own many Bessey clamps, and these are just simple 12 inch clamps. I use the Bessey KliKlamps most of the time, but sooner or later you need to power of a bar clamp. It's then that I grab for the Bessey's without hesitation.
