Customer Reviews for BESSEY Clutch Style 24 in. Capacity Bar Clamp with Composite Plastic Handle and 3-1/2 in. Throat Depth

Does a great job and is reasonably priced. I now own 12 Bessey clamps and am very pleased with their performance.

I research and tried many other f-clamps and found Bessey to be the best. Things I found with other clamps such as Pittsburgh and less expense clamps actually flexed or had too small of clamp surface. I bought the medium duty Bessey clamps which provide sufficient clamping force for bending wood projects which require a lot of torque.

This product is a step ahead of some of the other clamps I have. You can never have enough clamps. And I find using the right size clamp for a project is really important especially when doing complicated glue ups. Clamps that are too big can just get unwieldy and slow you down when speed is critical. I really like the increased throat depth of these clamps and the handles are much easier to grip when tightening. And as they are about half the price of the trigger style clamps and only a few dollars more than the light duty version of this clamp, I consider them to be reasonable value.

You know the old saying, "you get what you pay for"? Well, that's not always the case nowadays. Quality and craftsmanship has certainly taken a mega-dive in the last few decades. I had a clamp which I purchased 3 or 4 years ago and never used it until last week... It broke in a most unexpected way as I was clamping onto a project. Good thing I picked up that Bessey! Good solid clamp! I expect many years of use out of it.

Strong clamp! Used it when building a 30' x 12' western red cedar patio and deck. Held 4"x12" beams in place 12 feet overhead and we had zero worries about the clamps being over loaded. I know not many consumers put their clamps through that much abuse, bit for tgose few industry guys and gals looking at this particular one, rest assured it will suck the bow out of a 4x12!

High quality clamp makes impossible jobs easy !

Very good ... This one help me built my small snack table in my room...

We have a welding shop. We needed to clamp some steel shelving before welding and we needed something that was big enough and also strong enough. These clamps did the job, Bessey is a great company. They are made very well and they are versatile. Great clamps

These clamps clamp! The pressure is great the clutch does not slip, the pads do protect the area from being damaged, even in cedar. I am a diy type, not professionnal but I feel these clamps would suit even the most demanding professionnal. I have a feeling these will become my go to clamps.

So easy to use. Run the clamp down the bar until it's snug; then tighten with handle until it's tight. Plastic pads do not bite into the wood or mark it like the old C-clamps. I am learning to use my new router and it has held the practice material and guide down efficiently.

These clamps are real nice. Excellent quality of materials and user friendly. A great value for the size and fit. The throat allows for versatile use with different size material. These were my first bessey camps and I am happy to have bought them. Looking forward to purchasing more and different sizes and types.

Easy to use but a little heavy... they do there job well

HomeDepot has an excellent selection of hand tools. Purchased this heavy duty clamp to fix a drawer.

Light, strong, easy to use and economical. Just right to repair a broken drawer in my kitchen.

The clamps were a bit too heavy and were not needed. I will return them

Worked perfectly. Steady, solid.

This clamp is so strong and well built. The clamping power is far greater than that of my trigger clamps. I bought four of these but plan to buy four more.

The rubber grommet over the screw is too flimsy. It will pull off the screw on an uneven surface while tightening. Otherwise, the clamp works as expected.

The price was significantly lower than the next size up and the weight rating was still comparable. A good value for what you are getting.

Holds straight and strong.

Works great so far. Would really like clamps where both fixed and adjustable jaws are articulated. Sure hope the plastic contact faces last a long time.

Great clamp lots of clamping pressure.
