BESSEYGearKlamp, 12 In. Capacity, 2-

These clamps are great for getting into tight spaces. Also I love the way they work, very novel idea !!!I bought 4 of them and use them all the time. Bessy makes the best clamps out there and you will not be disappointed at all. They seem to be pretty robust as well.It would be a buy again if I need more of them.

If you work alone on woodworking this clamp is going to make you smile!Standard F clamps are awkward for a one person project often because they require two hands to operate and they end up being under the work surface so you need another person or six extra clamps to rig a secure project glue up!

That the adjustment handle is inline with the bar on this clamp gives it an accessibility advantage other clamps like it simply lack. That said, you have to pay attention to the screw adjustment before setting it; too high and you are readjusting it. Too low and the same. Construction is excellent, but I ended up adding hockey tape (a la Cosman) to the handle for better grip when applying that last twist.

Ever tried to use an F-clamp and found yourself smashing your fingers trying to tighten the clamp, because the twist handle was so close to a leg or side? Yeah, me too... These clamps completely eliminate that problem! The handle that tightens the clamp is well back from the clamping surfaces, so you can tighten these clamps down with ease in those situations. Such an elegant solution to a vexing problem! Bessey makes quality clamps that are generally somewhat overpriced (in my opinion), so I usually have a hard time recommending them. But this is a truly innovative product, and Bessey is the only company I've seen offering them, so in this case, I'll make the exception. I highly recommend these clamps. You don't need a lot of them, but having a few of them in various sizes might just save you a few busted knuckles!

Perfect, Great service

I found these clamps especially useful when two or more clamps must be used close to one another. Attempting to tighten traditional clamps such as K-clamps in such situations often requires trying to tighten with one finger and thumb. By having the tightening handle on the bar, the whole hand can be used. This is an excellent product.

A lot lighter than I was expecting. Hard to believe it'll have 450lbs clamping strength with the amount of plastic it has. I do like the feature of tightening in close areas but not sure how it'll hold up over time and use.

These are very well made and it’s a good thing that Amazon carries these as they are much more expensive at a big box store. If you’re looking for a clamp that provides more knuckle space these are what your looking for. They do require 2 hands. If I ever need more I wouldn’t hestitate to buy a couple more from Amazon.
