Well-made clamp
It looks good and looks and feels like it is well made. One minor issue is that in one area some of the black coating was chipped off but I’m sure once I start using it I won’t notice.

    The 4 in. throat depth was just what I needed for a large motorcycle rim.

      These clamps were perfect in terms of cost and performance for what I needed them for. I would not hesitate to use other Bessey products.

      Just what I needed
      Decided on this C clamp to do my cars brakes but was a little shocked by the enormous size. Got he job done well and had no issues so I gotta give it a 5/5. Very well built

        The depth makes a difference.
        This is very handy. Not expensive, and a good bit deeper than most of the alternatives. It is very to overlook that when buying a C-clamp, but it really broadens how you can use it. It has eliminated the need for most other clamping options on my workbench.

        A quality C-clamp.
        Bessy makes quality clamps. This one is no exception. It is solidly build, and the screw turns smoothly. This is a clamp that is going to hold up for years of heavy use. The 4" deep throat is handy when you need to grab farther in from the edge then a standard throat lets you. It can even be used to grab a piece on the other side of a 2"x4" the long way. It makes a great addition to my supply of clamps!

        Great Clamp for any Project
        I use all kinds of smaller C-clamps working with wood and have them in several sizes. I needed some larger ones so I got this one. I love the ease at which these work. Simplicity is sometimes best. It is very heavy, but the grip is nice and tight to hold whatever you need it to. Essential whenever you need to glue up a piece of work.

        Attractive light duty clamp
        This is a 'light duty' clamp that will satisfy many tasks around the shop, but it isn't stiff enough for some uses. Provided you have some sturdy clamps for those tough tasks this will be a useful addition where you need 'just one more' clamp to get the job done. The clamp is attractively finished and looks like it will have a long working life.

        Get a grip!
        Standard moderate-duty C clamp, gives firm grip and will chomp larger projects. Steel screw in iron/steel body. Well cast and threaded.
