by Bessey

Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Exclusive Sliding Arm Design that is Infinitely Adjustable to Clamp up to a 4" Opening. Does the Work of 1", 2", 3" & 4" Standard Spring Clamps. Ergonomic Grips & Soft Pads for Damage Free Clamping. 4" Capacity

Product Description

A clever variation on a spring clamp, the unique design of this variable capacity clamp lets you create an infinite range of openings up to 4", with constant, firm pressure at all openings. The top jaw slides easily with one hand, and it grips firmly on the notched rail to ensure a firm grip at all settings. The variable opening also controls the pressure. For lighter pressure, click jaws wider than your work; for maximum pressure, click jaws down to a smaller opening. The soft pivoting pads provide a firm grip on your work while remaining gentle on your work surfaces. The large ergonomic handles are easy to operate at any and all openings with their nonslip inserts for a firm, safe grip.

What a great clamp!! Replaces all your other spring-type clamps in one unit. Holds just about any 4 inch or less wood joint together plenty tight for gluing. Quick and easy to adjust. For routine smaller work, this is the only clamp you need to reach for! Suggest the 4 inch rather than 3 inch size.

I do a lot of woodworking. I use these clamps for almost all my projects. They are just the right strength for most correctly fitting wood joints. The variable jaw is a nice feature that actually makes this several size clamps in one.

These have characteristics that are quite different from other kinds of spring-loaded clamps. Adjusting the size of the opening also lets you adjust the pressure the clamp exerts on the material being clamped. I think they're great. I have four 3-inch and four 4-inch and will be buying more of the 4". I see little reason for buying the 3" size because the 4 inch size also clamps 3" and less.
