5.0 out of 5 stars Review of Bessey XCRUS 4 inch clamps, April 20, 2009

This review is from: Bessey XCRU5 Deep Reach Ratcheting Spring Clamp 4_Inch capacity, 4-Inch Throat Depth (Tools & Home Improvement)

I bought the Bessey SCRUS 4 inch clamp to replace my old C-Clamps that had finally bit the dust. The 4 inch clamping capacity of the Bessey provides for all the work I do in the shop with one easy action rather than the continuous "spinning" of the screw on the old C-clamps. I get my work "clamped down" quickly and easily, make the cut, mark or other action, squeeze the quick release trigger and I'm ready for the next job.

I store the clamps on the pegboard in the open position as I fear the spring action may deteriorate over time (I don't use them daily or even weekly), but the space between the clamp and spring seems to work in holding them in place.

I'd recommend these clamps to anyone.

I purchased several of these clamps. They have screws that act as hinges and they frequently loosen and cause the clamps to fail. I will never purchase any items from this manufacturer in the future. The Irwin clamps I have purchased are much better quality than the Bessey products.

1.0 out of 5 stars Save your $$$ - worthless plastic, July 17, 2011

This review is from: Bessey XCRU5 Deep Reach Ratcheting Spring Clamp 4_Inch capacity, 4-Inch Throat Depth (Tools & Home Improvement)

This design, except for making doll houses, musical instruments, is worthless.

Very cheap plastic rachet design doesn't work...
--- whoever designed this tool never used it in the field...
--- good idea but the plastic rachet mechanism is a total joke.

Unfortunately, the Irwin "Next Generation' clamp is the only...
--- heavy duty 1 hand clamp that really works for daily use at $30.00 per clamp.
