These clamps have been around for ever. Any good woodworking shop has a pile of them. Get them in pairs at a minimum and get a variety of sizes you won't be sorry. They last a lifetime and more.

Oh yeah the other dimension you need to know is the distance from the tip to the middle spindle on this clamp is 4 inches

How much can you say? This is a quality clamp. Well machined screws, heavy duty handles, finely made. Great clamping control... from real power to a delicate hold.

I especially like the size 0 for use with jigs, cross cut sled, and my Incra router system.

Super job on description have bought others only to find out way to big this company did a wonderful job.

After decades of woodworking projects, I finally bought these and am very happy with how well the design works. While not fast and require two hands, they hold your work incredibly well.

A nice little trick to quickly open or close in fast amounts before clamping on work, spin the entire clamp holding a handle in each hand as if you're pedaling a bike by hand. That opens or closes quickly depending on direction. Then fine tune once clamping down on work pieces.

Will purchase more in the future as my needs increase.

I've had 3 pairs of Jorgensen clamps for the last 30 years. When I moved to Maui 2 years ago I didn't bring them with me. I did without for a year but got a pair of the size 04's last month. What a relief! I've used them 6 or 7 times in the last month. Indispensible especially for tapered or uneven surfaces. Holds things TIGHT to each other or another surface.

Spend the extra money and buy quality clamps like this one. I love this clamp. Don't cheap out and buy something from Harbor Fr*ight!

Top quality product, not a cheap imitation. This is the best it gets and a great price! Tks Amazon.

Any woodworking shop needs lots of clamps of different types. These handscrews are particularly useful for clamping two or more pieces of wood together across their thickness rather than their width. Of course other types of clamps will do that too - some will be cheaper and faster -but none will work better.

There is no comparison between these handscrews and say, quick acting bar clamps (like Irwin Quick Grip). The primary difference is that you can apply far more force with a handscrew than with most any other type of clamp you would use in its place. These are also great for temporarily clamping lumber to your workbench or to a jig while machining. With a handscrew, you can be confident that the workpiece will not move.

I enthusiastically recommend these clamps and their big brothers.
