 My favorite clampsNov 28, 2002
By C. Raff
"curtis_r"
In general, bar clamps are great, and the end of pipe clamps as far as I'm concerned. Pipe clamps roll all over the place (unless you have stabilizers), thus require a lot of finess to use more than 1 @ a time.In contrast, bar clamps stand upright all by themselves. I own Bessy & Jorgensen & only notice 1 key difference between them: When you hold the bottom of the Bessy bar vertically, you have an excellent chance of the adjustible portion of the bar sliding rapidly down into your fingers - owch! I have not had the Jorgensen bar spontaneously slide freely into my fingers. This is important if you hang your clamps on a wall for storage.

Good clamps; questionable qualityOct 30, 2002
By Lily Bear the Brown Lab
I've bought several of these clamps; two of them were permanently stuck closed, and no amount of banging and prying would make them open. On one that wasn't stuck, the casting that houses the stacked plates broke as I was tightening the screw. I'm no gorilla--I was just turning the handle with normal hand pressure, and POP, the whole thing came apart sending hunks of pot metal flying across the shop. To their credit, Jorgensen was very prompt in sending me a replacement with no questions asked. I just hope the breakage was a fluke... In theory, these should be good clamps. My experience makes me concerned.

Better than the Bessey ClampsOct 13, 2004
By Josh Shipton
I bought 4 of these a few months ago for clamping raised panel doors and now I wish I had 20 more. These clamps have excellent strength, they keep everything paralell, and are easy to use. But what sold me was last week I borrowed some Bessey clamps from a friend and head to head the Jorgensens blew them away. The Jorgensens slide better, have a nicer handle, and they balance so much better. Overall, I'd buy the Jorgensen's over the Bessey's and save a few bucks in the process

 very nice clampsApr 22, 2002
I like these clamps becasue they are sturdy and have solid wooden handles that allow for tight clamping procedures. I have used them many times and the only knock I have on them is that they are a little to bulky for my liking, but in some cases this may be a plus. I have had no problems with damage to wood after clamping and no difficulty with glue binding to the clamp. I definitely recommend buying these clamps versus the many other brands that are out there. Basically, they are a good purcahse for the money.
