Rated 5 out of 5 by from Probably more than what I need... When it comes to tools I tend to buy things that are way nicer (and more expensive) than what I actually need. I just hate buying something cheap that works for the current project but won’t work for all future projects. I have some cheap clamps that are very light duty. They’re good for quick framing cuts and certainly have their place. However, I wanted something that would apply heavy pressure without slipping or micro-adjusting. These were perfect. The deep neck makes them more versatile than the lighter duty Bessy clamps. Also, the rubber hand grip is signifigantly easy to tighen than the light duty painted wood handles. The deep neck, rubber tightening handle, and high clamp rating were enough to make me buy them. Hope that helps.

With a rack of sixty Bessey bar clamps and thirty other special use and brand "X" clamps, I certainly did not need these heavy duty small 6" clamps; so I just started with two of them. I now own six and my co-workers are adding them to their clamp racks as well. Great for securing tool to a work bench, fabricating drill press jigs, chop saw blocks, and edge sander stops. Oh, I almost forgot to mention that they work well for clamping wood also. Great Bessey quality and usability combined with a deep throat and heavy-duty mechanism for secure holding power.

This should be considered a pretty tough test as the scaffolding moves around a bit. If it can hold onto something that moves, it will do fine in a static situation.The plastic bumpers are nice, as they do not put marks on your wood. Many of my older clamps are made only of metal, and they leave marks on the wood.

I have four other Bessey bar clamps in two different lengths, I bought this 6 inch bar clamp, and will get one more 6 inch bar clamp. I use two to mount a 2" x 8" x 8' pressure treated board with a vice attached to the corner railings of my deck, when working on a project requiring a vice. They defiantly work well for a lot of projects.

These were the best for my purposes which, as a musician, I needed to use clamps to help mount a second dual keyboard to complete a 4 manual virtual cathedral pipe organ. They worked perfectly, clamped securely and the rubber handle ends made a no slip surface for the upper keyboard to rest on. They're heavy, well built, quality stuff.

I own DeWalt and Jorgensen 600 and 1000lb clamps, and although reasonably good, they have deficiencies the Bessey does not. The pads on the former come off constantly much to my continual frustration. The pads on the Bessey clamp stay put every time! The finish on the DeWalt and Jorgensen clamps easily chips, unlike the Bessey. The first day I used a DeWalt, the rivet at the end of the arm sheered off; the Bessey rivets seem much heavier duty. The upper jaw of the DeWalt has a very slight angle to the surface, presumably for heavy loads causing the steel arm to flex a bit. Unfortunately, that design characteristic also encourages the clamp to wander when you first start to tighten it. The Bessey will not do this, at least in my experience. There's little difference between bar clamps from a number of popular vendors; Bessey simply took care of all the annoying little details the other manufacturers ignored. I'm looking forward to expanding my collection soon.

I just purchased another 6" clamp and it is now 1100 lb instead of 1000 lb. Were these clamps updated? Both have same model number.
Asked by: Kevin
We have quite a few of these clamps. We can not tell any difference between the new ones, and the older ones. They all look the same. You can contact the manufacturer to determine reason for the labeling change.

Is the specified clamping force of 1000lbs, for force in all directions?

Is the specified clamping force of 1000lbs, for force in all directions?
Asked by: slapper990
The clamp is designed to apply a linear clamping force between the two ends of the clamp, so, the answer would be NO, it does not apply force in all directions.
