Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The Stanley 24-Inch Bailey Heavy Duty F Clamp works as a brawny third hand when you need a tough clamp to pin down your projects. This hardy clamp features a removable bar design that allows you to integrate longer or shorter bars, as needed -- plus it offers quick, easy conversion to a spreader for added versatility. It even has a hole in the jaw face to provide an attachment point for shims or other shop-made accessories. But this F clamp isn't all business and no comfort.
Its bi-material, tri-lobular handle is easy on your hands and provides more torque; and the removable jaw pads are gentle on delicate finishes or surfaces. Designed to work long and last long, the Bailey F Clamp boasts a rugged "I" beam bar that resists twisting and bending, and it's finished off with a high-visibility, corrosion-resistant finish. This device has a clamp size of 5 inches, and an overall length of 24 inches.

In 1920, The Rule and Level Company merged with The Stanley Works and would go on to become it’s famous Hand Tools Division. Over the years, The Stanley Works has produced some of the most innovative and useful tools ever made. Among these tools are the Bailey Plane, the Surform shaper, the PowerLock tape rule and most recently the FatMax line of products.

Powerfull clamps,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Stanley 83-023 24-Inch Bailey Heavy Duty F Clamp (Tools & Home Improvement)
I have 4 of these and they probably see more use than all my other clamps combined. Actually, I got 2 of the 30 inc clamps and 2 of these 24 inch clamps, and cut the bars of the 24 inch clamps in half. Putting all the heads on the short bars gives me 4 clamps with a capacity of about 10 inches, but I can switch the heads out on 2 of them to make 30 inch clamps if the need ever arises. The short clamps are perfect and their weight is very manageable.
The 5 inch throats on these clamps and the long screws let them get into places other clamps can't. They are great for holding down boards for sawing or other such tasks. They are really fast to get adjusted and tight. They are capable of crazy clamping pressure. The 1,000 lb rating is not some wildly optimistic figure; these things are strong. If what you need to clamp or straighten needs to keep a nice finish, you had better use cauls or there will be divots. The rubber pads don't stay in place, but with the forces these clamps generate, they don't do a lot anyways. You have to use cauls. It would be unfair to compare these to parallel bar clamps as they are more of a specialty clamp that is only good for gluing up fine furniture. These F clamps will do about as well as the parallel clamps in most glue ups if you know how to use cauls but the convenience factor isn't there.

Stanley 83-023 Good But Not Perfect,

This review is from: Stanley 83-023 24-Inch Bailey Heavy Duty F Clamp (Tools & Home Improvement)
Positives: Large comfortable rubber grip is easy on the hands, very sturdy construction. Negatives: Rubber pad on tail-piece will not stay on; I had to attach it with double stick carpet tape (this works well and the tape is hidden behind the pad). The rubber pads leave a stain on the wood which is dificult to remove.
