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'll last your lifetime and longer.

Oh yeah the other dimension you need to know is the distance from the tip to the middle spindle on this clamp is 5 inches.

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.

We have 26 of these clamps in various sizes. My husband has been making mission furniture for over 30 years and has owned his own furniture business. He swears by these and would not even consider another clamp manufacture of this type. There is other clamps on the market that look like Jorgensen but they just dont compare in quality. Don't get me wrong ... you still need dozens of other clamps (bar,C,corner, etc.) but for daily use and good control this is a great clamp. [....]

I bought these wood clamps for my boyfriend who is just getting into woodworking. He loves them and uses them for everything. They are extremely high quality and I purchased them because after looking through many, many reviews, people who sounded like they knew what they were talking about said that Jorgensens are the best. They are easy to use and maintain a very firm grip on your pieces without denting them at all. These wood clamps wills not disappoint!

Jorgensen builds the best clamps, when you buy one it works problem free for years and never lets you down, built to last generations, no knock off has been able to touch it...I tried one and took it back!

Bought this clamp for my husband, didn't know what I was really doing. But he said that it was one of the easiest and best clamps on the market. So I guess I got lucky and chose a good brand.

These are the kind of clamps I always saw in pictures when I was a kid. So, I always associated these with wood working. They are high quality and very well made. You won't regret getting a set.

They are for every purpose as you can see. Curved and small surfaces are not what these are for. However if you need to clamp flat surfaces without marring, then this is a great clamp to use.

I believe in the romance of wood working and part of it is having tools made of wood. If you believe the same, get a set and you'll feel as good as I do about having them in your shop.
