5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent clamps with few drawbacks, October 25, 2002

I recenlty ordered a pair of these clamps, and let me say that they are excellent. Even clamping pressure, large jaws, and a neat little plastic "foot" at the end that flips down to hold the clamp securly on a flat surface. While not as expensive, strong or heavy as bessey's famous "k-body" clamps, these will do an excellent job as hold-down clamps for securing workpeices to benches while routing, sanding, cutting bisucits and the like. While most will say that a quick grip is fine for this, I would reply that for a few dollars more, you get so much more. These work excellent as assembly clamps, too. There glue-resistant surface and high pressure makes them great for truing doors, and glue-ups of small panels. While these would most likely not cut it for a professional woodwooker or cabinet maker, for the home shop owner, they are great deals for the price.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not smooth, August 5, 2008

Don't get me wrong - i use these clamps a lot. If I could do it over again I would get the K body or the Jet 12" clamps instead. All of the UniKlamps I own don't slide along the bar well need one hand to push on the locking mechanism to get them to move. I love the weight but I often find myself reaching for the Kbody 24" when these would do.

Bessey exudes quality. I have many of their K Clamps. These guys do the job without spending mega bucks. If light to medium clamping strength is needed, consider the Uniklamp.
