1.0 out of 5 stars What A Piece Of Junk!, July 6, 2006

I wish I could post pics of this thing.

Basically you have 2 ladder type units that get bolted together at the top and are spread apart at the bottom with an X brace. The 2 ladder units were welded so far out of square I had to grind off both top bars and reweld them clamped square to my bench top. After wire brushing, sanding, and painting them I was able to bolt them together. Krylon gloss black looks better than the original paint, anyways.

The hardware bag consists of 4 casters, 3 bolts, and 3 nuts. I tried to assemble the cross brace with the supplied bolt, but the bolt head goes right thru the hole in the brace. Time to dig out some washers. The top holes didn't line up correctly, but I fixed that with a round file. The bolts were barely long enough to get a nut on, but I had to replace them so I had room for 4 of my washers.

This is my first review after shopping at Amazon for years, so usually I let little things slide. I got the unit free when I ordered clamps, otherwise Amazon would have gotten it's first return from me.

P.S. The Bessey sticker on the top was about 20 degrees off level!

The clamp rack that I received was not the one in the picture. What I received was poorly constructed and does not hold the clamps very well.

The old Bessey clamp racks were fine. Do not waste your money.

The rack and the 30 clamps arived without a scratch. Assembly is easy.

However, I would make one modification. Instead of installing the cross supports in an X configuration (across the bottom) as suggested in the instructions, cut them down and use them on the outside, between the two frame halves (like a ladder crosspiece). You will need four extra bolts. The advantage, though, is that you could release one side of each brace and fold the unit up to store it against a wall. Some adjustments to the placement of the clamp hanging rods may be necessary to allow the fold, but that flexibility is already built in with the use of hairpin clips to secure the rods.

Can't wait to take it to the shop and hang up all my other clamps (plenty of room to spare).
