Description

The large jaw faces are an easily recognizable characteristic of the BESSEY K Body parallel and case clamps. They allow strong, precise and gentle clamping and spreading of workpieces. Thanks to their extra-large contact surfaces, the original BESSEY K Body REVO parallel clamp and the lightweight UniKlamp case clamp distribute clamping force evenly even when being used at high clamping forces. Cabinetmakers, Carpenters, Joiners and Kitchen fitters all benefit from the use of parallel jaw clamps because they are ideal for clamping large areas without damaging the material. When In use parallel clamps provide very accurate clamping support and are ideal for many applications including furniture making, restoration, cabinet construction, and holding large panels and frames in place when gluing. BESSEY offers the unique K Body REVO parallel clamp in two versions – with fixed (KRE) or sliding upper section (KREV) – each with a range of openings up to 2.5 meters. Both of these versions offer up to a nominal 90 degrees of clamping capability and 1700 lbs of everyday clamping force. Another advantage of the K Body REVO clamps is that they have additional workpiece supports on the rail that prevent the workpiece from coming into contact with the rail and being damaged. This also allows the clamps to be placed on the workbench and then used as a glue press. Further, the sliding clamp can also be converted to a spreading function without the need for tools, and there are also a number of accessories available. BESSEY. Simply better

  • Get This Clamp!
Alright, so, let me tell you about this clamp. First off, I feel like Thor wielding Mjolnir when I use this thing. Seriously, it's like the hammer of clamps - it doesn't just hold stuff together; it practically yells, You shall not pass! to any wobbly wood piece. I could probably hang off it and it'd still keep things tight. Forget muscles, this clamp's got the strength! As for woodworking, it's like having an extra set of hands that never complain or take breaks. Plus, if you ever need to spread the word about good clamps, this one's even got a spreader mode. It's the superhero of the workshop - trust me, your wood projects will thank you for introducing them to this Herculean clamp! ... show more

  • Classic Bessey quality
I've done a lot of woodworking (advanced hobbyist) for the last 50 years. I've always found my Bessey clamps to be top of the line and these parallel K body clamps are no exception. I've tried my favorite woodworking store's knock-off versions on occasion to save some $$ and generally found they just don't measure up. The Besseys stay aligned and clamp down with the kind of force I need when gluing up a table top. I used these 40 inch clamps to glue up the leg assemblies for a new workbench I just built. They were just what I needed and they worked as expected. I happily recommend these clamps to you if you're looking for top notch K body clamps. ... show more

  • Worth it!
Great clamps. Initially, sticker-shock paralyzed my Amazon "Buy it now" trigger-finger, but rationality prevailed. It's been some time since I have purchased clamps; I bought good clamps the first time around and they served me well for a very long time. Clamps have evolved in the intervening years, and these are a welcome addition to my shop. I have 1 pair of clamps I like better, and those are from my grandfathers workshop and are likely from the 1930's...If these Bessey's last half as long as my grandfather's clamps, It won't be me using them : ) ... show more

  • Impressive clamp
These are the Cadillac of clamps. Plenty of clamping force, and jaws stay parallel.

  • Great product with one minor complaint
I love the design and functionality of this product. I just wish the metal wasn’t so reactive to wood glue. DO NOT GET GLUE ON THE METAL BAR. I made the mistake of allowing wood glue(Tightbond II) to dry on the bar and it was extremely difficult to remove. In addition, the glue left behind a dark corrosion mark. Other than that, it’s a great product but definitely on the pricey side. ... show more
