LM2.004 LM General Purpose Clamp, 1 Pack

I love these clamps. Simple, reliable, just the right size. If you haven't used them before, they take a tiny bit of getting used to (they use a type of friction/tooth grab for the jaw to "set" on the bar), but after the first time, you pretty much get the hang of them. After that, they're a no-brainer. Oh, and did I mention they CLAMP solidly? No slip, no fuss, and they hold really well. I tried similar clamps from Rockler (I got a 4 pack for a good price as a deal), but they quickly proved inferior. The clamp stopped catching along the bar, which turned them into little more than weirdly-shaped paper weights in terms of utility. I've only had one of the over a dozen Bessey's of this style I own do something similar, and it still works with a little persistence. By comparison, 3 out of the 4 Rocklers have ended up in the trash after only six months. Basically, you can't beat Bessey.

Good proven woodworking clamps at a fair price! If you plan on making cabinets, bookcases, and the like, clamps are vital for glue ups, assembly. Bessey, Pony, etc. are all proven performers.

I bought a 24in Bessey clamp years ago for some DIY woodworking projects, and it has often proved indispensable for the task at hand. When I bought this smaller one I thought I'd be getting the same design in a shorter format, but I should have looked closer at the picture. The longer clamp had a ratcheting mechanism and a lock, so you could release the lock first, move the jaw part along the serrated bar, lock it as close as possible to the intended position, and then finally use the screw part to tighten things further once everything was in place. This smaller clamp does not actually have a lock and release mechanism in the jaw, and instead it seems to rely on pressure/friction to "click" into the serrated bar. In other words, once enough pressure is applied by the screw part, the jaw will bend a few degrees and click into whatever is the closest notch on the serrated bar. To its credit this does work and can be quite strong at that, but it is a simpler mechanism and it's not quite as versatile as what I was hoping for.

I had four of these. Bought two more they are so great. Small enough to fit almost anywhere and grip very, very well. Light weight and easy to use. No workshop should be without them.

Quality products

I ordered 4 of these clamps three work well. However one will not lock on the bar. This one is useless. The ones that do work are small but very handy for many uses. Just wish they all worked correctly.

I bought these (I bought 3) to make a set (I bought one awhile ago). These are easy to use, hold well, great for small projects. Might be a bit difficult to use, if you have arthritis. You can minimize the problem, if you set the sliding jaw to touch the project, then it's just a slight twist to secure. They're simple and effective. All metal, with wood handle.

Wonderful for small projects, and cheap enough to keep quite a few. Infinitely better than these flimsy ratcheting clamps you can find at any hardware store - more rigid, able to clamp with a lot more force, not prone to flexing back when you depress the trigger. They are described as "light-duty", but are actually quite sturdy - a good, solid chunk of metal, a nice acme screw that's not going to strip any time soon. The only thing to keep in mind is that they have no clutch / ratchet. To lock them, you need to tilt back the bottom jaw and hold it in this position as you tighten the clamp. Not hard, just takes some getting used to if you're unfamiliar with this mechanism.

Very flimsy - Not for woodworking

é muito melhor que outros que tenho de marca inferior

Buen producto me llegaron muy rápido y son de excelente calidad y precio las recomiendo

Amazing and great price, fast delivery as well.

It is very handy to have when you want to hold a plank to a worktable and saw it. I will have many usage for it in my garage. Very sturdy and easy to operate. Works in any kind of weather, may it be rain, snow or else. Great purchase.
