Customer Reviews for Jorgensen 12 in. Bar Clamp

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Jorgensen clamps are the first clamps I owned. Great clamps to use for my project glue ups, they hold the work very well, also are light and have no problems with adjustments. Thank you Jorgensen.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using Jorgensen 6-, 8-, and 12-inch bar clamps in my woodworking shop for more than 20 years. They are strong, durable, and easy to use …they are amazing! I have had the opportunity to use other brands and types in friends’ shops and am always disappointed; nothing can compare with my Jorgensens.

I've been using Jorgensen clamps for decades and they have never failed to do exactly what is expected. I do have lots of clamps, and a few of them are of the "no-brand" variety. The "no-brands" are disappointing, always slipping and generally problematic. Not true of the Jorgensen clamps!

I love these clamps. I use them for everything! Very reliable and well made!. I use them from holding stop blocks on my sleds to. Using them for glue ups. Plan on buying many more.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I reach for these before my red ones. The handles are nice and I don’t feel like I’m going to break the clamp by over tightening.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using these clamps for the last 30+years in my cabinet shop and onsite finish carpentry business. These have been in constant use and are still in great shape! I have on occasion 'over tightened' a clamp and bent the bar a bit. This is pure 'user error'. I should have just used my Jorgenson pipe clamps if really needing that much force. BTW, All of my Jogenson pipe clamp assemblies are still in working order as well! Great, quality tools!

sorry guys, but i have had jorgies since i started wood working years ago. I bought some of the 12 inch bar/f-clamps abought 6 months ago and am very dissapointed. I believe these were all made overseas. two of the biggest failures are 1. the cushion tips fall off too easy. 2. the bar doesn't hold the clamp arms secure, they slip. I have some older clamps and have never had these problems. In fact I was so disappointed that I wrote the company via "e" mail. sorry but they were not what I expected from your company.

I have a few pairs of these. They are working very well for what I am using them for and as clamps go I find them to be very versitile. I have 12" and 18" lengths and the only copmplaint I have is that I have lost a pair of the rubber feet off one but that is likely because of my own fault.

I own 16 of these in different sizes and have used them over the past 40 years without any problems. They are great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bar clamp does the job no muss no fuss easy to adjust with 1 hand

A woodworker can never have enough clamps. When I found these in a 4 pack (2 - 12" and 2 6") for a great price, I bought 5 sets. No flex in the bar. The handle feels good in the hand. Clamps securely and doesn't move unless I want it to. I look forward to many years of use from my clamps!!

I have many clamps and these are some of my favorites. The handle is comfortable and the threads are smooth as butter.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These clamps are always the champ in my shop I use them daily and with out fail they handle all my glue ups, and other clamping needs.

I use various sizes but really utilize the 6 inch #3704 a lot. Woodworking, securing portable tools, pulling metal sheets into alignment, plus more.

I have several f clamps, and as Norm once said, " you can never have too many clamps". I use mine on almost every project, and wish I had about 100 in each size. when the old ones get rusty, some scotch brite or sandpaper bring them back to life. I love my clamps!

The small 6" bar clamp I purchased is more useful than I first thought. I find there are more places I can use a small clamp and if does the job without having to go after all the larger sizes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This clamp has helped me many times in the shop. Its smooth action and quality build make it a pleasure to use!

I purchased this clamp when I needed to glue a piece of door molding together. It worked perfectly, held the molding until the glue was dry. I have used it several times since and it always does the job. Note: I always purchase clamps in pairs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had a set of 6 12” HD bar clamps for over 30 years. They are used often and work great, even when they get used as a hammer. The are smooth, easy to adjust and glue comes right off. Other then the details they look and work like the new ones.

Used the F style clamps for years. they always work and I haven't been able to break one yet

have had the bar clamps for 40 years they were some the first clamp that I bought when I started my cabinet shop

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have quite a variety of Jorgensen clamps. Started purchasing them over 40 years ago and keep adding to them. Haven't had any issues with them over that time period.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the clamp. Sturdy with positive holding of materials.

I've been using my Jorgensen clamps for a few weeks now and really like them. Easy to use and very strong.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These clamps have such a strong holding force that I was not expecting and the handle is very comfortable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought a pair of the bar clamps because you can never seem to have enough and I wanted some high quality clamps. I find that I am able to get a lot of pressure when needed and they have not let me down!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I inherited a bunch of these from my dad who used them for 30 years. I have added another 15 years of use and can see that my son will add to that number. They are easy to use, don't slip and pull strong. Even after globs of glue dripped and them and cleaned off. Tried the HF brand, these put them to shame.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've tried other brands and they just don't compare so Jorgensen's are my go to clamps. I've had mine for years and, trust me, I haven't always been good to them but no matter what I've put them through (dropping from a roof, being left out in the rain, etc) they always get the job done

I use these clamps for every glue up I do. They are great easy to use and love the grip of the handle

Thought I’d try a set of these instead of Bessey’s for a change. Very happy. Less money, lighter weight and the performance seems as good. I’ll get more.
