Simply better Review: Well made and strong - This was just the ticket to fix a dovetail drawer that was coming part from a secondhand dresser. With wood glue and this clamp, I was able to fit the drawer back together, hold it in place about 24 hours, and use the drawer again. This product is very well made. The quality of the steel is excellent. I kind of wish the round circular piece on the end of the clamp that tightens against the item wasn't plastic, but I figure if breaks, the whole tool will still be usable. Review: best balance of price and quality - There are better clamps out there, including from Bessey, and there are cheaper clamps, but I think these are the best balance of price vs quality. (Of course using the right type of clamp for the job matters too.) I got some similar clamps on ebay for a fair amount less, but the quality just isn't there. The finish on the jaws has big globs on it, the clutches are harder to release and aren't consistent from clamp to clamp, and the protective pads are flimsy and don't stay in place at all. They still work, but I don't think I'll be getting any more of them. Bessey also has similar, more expensive clamps without the clutch, that you just rock to move. That gives a little more convenience, but at least for my level of amateur woodworking, it's not worth the extra money. Then there's the really nice parallel clamps which are in a whole different class. I may get four of those for certain jobs that need them, but I certainly can't afford to stock up on them. These clamps have a nice, consistent finish, feel solid, have good pads, and can also apply a lot more force than regular quick-clamps. Yet they're still cheap enough that you can afford to get a large number of them. ## Features - Ergonomic Handle - Our Bessey GSCC2 clutch style bar clamp is designed with an ergonomic handle, providing you with a comfortable grip while working on your woodworking projects.

I will mention that they are showing some light rusting on the bar, although chrome plated. My "Pony" mid-weight clamps very similar to these were made in the USA and show no rust although bought around the same time. But, even the Pony bar clamps from the Adjustable Clamp Co are being sourced in China nowadays. Most of those (Chinese) from Adj. Clamp have a synthetic grip handle as opposed to the previously made in USA versions having wood handles. My best guess tells me that Dubuque Clamp may be the only domestic source for some really nice bar clamps at 2-3 Xs the cost of Chinese with a chrome plated bar (different brands) or the really inexpensive Chinese clamps from H. F. that have no plating. All of these mentioned f-style clamps seem to get decent reviews. I have different ones and have not broken any thus far. You might take a look at the HD version from adjustable clamp, e.g. 3724 HD and see if they are still made in the USA. Those are much more substantial in weight so I assume strength. That said, make good joints and you don't need lots of strength. **Q: What is the part number for replacement!ent plastic pads?** A: Just enter "Bessey clamp pads" into Amazon search and there are a lot of options to choose from. They are packaged in sets of various sizes and include the round and flat pieces and they are not that expensive. I bought a set and used a lot of them and still have some to spare. The do fall off in the field so the spares are handy **Q: With this clamp be suitable to clamp a piece of wood to a work table and take a Circular Saw to it?** A: Circular saws are dangerous. If you are asking this question, you probably shouldn't be using one. That being said, use two clamps--12' clamps will probably work and be easier to handle. This answer assumes that you are cutting across a board. If you are cutting sheet goods, like plywood, you will need a different strategy. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well made and strong *by A***A on April 23, 2024* This was just the ticket to fix a dovetail drawer that was coming part from a secondhand dresser.
