Customer Reviews for Jorgensen 12 in. Bar Clamp

I bought 6 of these clamps for a special project and they work perfectly. The bar locks solidly and a simple twist of the grip gives easy to feel adjustments and the right amount of pressure.

I have several F clamps as well as parallel clamps that I use all the time in my furniture building. Their large rubber handles make it extremely easy to get the necessary amount of force for whatever I’m building. To me, both types of Jorgensen clamps are head and shoulders better than the Bessey clamps. I’ll never buy another Bessey again, always opting for Jorgensen.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a lot of these. They are invaluable and seem to operate better than other brands. The quick release actually releases even under pressure….really fond of these guys.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a dozen of these small bar clamps and use them all of the time. You'd be surprised how many projects only require a small clamp. They have tremendous clamping power, are easy to manipulate and the plastic caps protect your project.

Picked up a couple of these when I was short a few clamps for a project. Pretty solid clamps for the price. Good heavy-duty bar on them. Didn't flex at all when cranked down.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought these in a 4 pack. Proved to be so handy around the shop I went back and bought another. Easy to adjust, plenty of clamping pressure.

I love the handles on these clamps - I have others with painted wooden handle, but these are so much easier to grip and tighten with. And the clamp itself is great - I'll only buy these in the future.

Not expensive, great holding power, Smith easy operation, easy to clean if during glue ups, very strong and easy to organize.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I reach for my Pony F-Clamps over my Bessey every time. I like the grip of the pads and the ease of use. The heavy-duty F clamps are great with no flex as you tighten up.

I have a bunch of these and they are great for small glue ups and to keep the edges aligned on panel glue ups.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really like the handle grip - soft rubber that allows the clamp to be tightened easily. Also the Spring loaded adjusting plates are high quality and grip well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used Jorgensen bar clamps for many years; since the day they were purchased, they have done exactly what they are supposed to do, and have never failed. Great product.

I really like the quality of the steel bar clamps.

I have 13 Jorgensen steel bar clamps that are easy to use. I use them for set up and for gluing. They are especially useful if firm clamp load is needed.

Clamp works well for clamping face frames on cabinets.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I brought a set of bar clamps specifically for a couch table project and the clamps worked great. Easy to use and great quality.

I have used them for decades. They work great. I would like the bar plating to be more rust resistant.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have several different bar clamps from different manufacturers. All are acceptable but I can definitely see and feel the difference in quality between the others and Jorgensen. The Jorgensen is a more solid clamp. I find the Jorgensen has a slightly larger handle to easier tighten the clamp down. The Jorgensen is a little more expensive than some of my other brand clamps but I think it's worth the little extra cost. When having to grab multiple brand clamps for a project I always start with the Jorgensen. It's my favorite clamp.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have several different clamps. This is my favorite clamp for ease of use. The handle makes it easy to hold and set

I have been a wood worker my whole life. I never had a problem with the smooth round wooden grips on other brands of clamps. I am now in my 60s and have now lost the strength im my hads that I always had as a younger man. The new grips on your clamps now lets me clamp pieces down or together as I did before. I have given my round handle clamps to my sons and have purchased your clamps. It is so much easier. I don"t know if that was your intention but thank you very much. It has made clamping much easier for me. Roger from Ohio.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using a set of Jorgensen clamps for the last two years. I am impressed by there holding power, other clamps slip & fail. I am currently replacing my clamps with only Jorgensen clamps. I highly recommend their products.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My favorite bar clamps! Easy to use - grip is comfortable and non-slip even with sweaty or gloved hands. Holds without slipping. Excellent range. Slides smoothly on the bar. Easy to store when not in use.

Bought four over ten years ago and they still work great. I use them all the time and is one of my of my go to tools.

I purchased after comparing to some cheap alternatives that slipped the grooves or were difficult to release and when tightened up they slipped . These clamps were super in every aspect for my glue projects.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these bar clamps and my other Jorgensen clamps. They have served me well for years and are built to last forever. All my Jorgensen product work great. A trusted name in my shop

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Every clamp works with ease & holds strong. I have many different types.

I own several sizes of Pony bar clamps from 6" to 36" in multiple numbers of each. During my +20 years as a hobby woodworker, these clamps have continued to hold and squeeze as needed as if they were new. For my woodworking needs, these clamps are well worth the slight premium I paid for the original purchase. I continue to add to this collection. I also have a number of Pony pipe clamp 'heads', that still grip as if new. Pony clamps are, in my opinion, the best on the market.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This clamps are the best clamps.I worked at a cabinet shop and use all kinds of clamps and these were the best and that's all that I have in my shop. I won't buy any other clamps.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been gathering tools for over 50 years. Yes I have accumulated many clamps. My Jorgensen cbar clamps are always my first choice when I grab a clamp. there are very secure and can take a tremendous pressure.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought a set of these about a year ago. Excellent clamps!
