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

  • Great clamps. Made in USA, not Germany. I’m ok with that!

  • Jaws parallel and product arrived undamaged
Size: Kit 2 40 in. Style: Kit 2 Pattern Name: Clamp Kit
These clamps are not cheap so I did my homework. Folks has issues with the clamps getting damaged during shipping due to inadequate packaging, and they had issues with the jaws not being parallel when tightened down. I had neither of these issues so wanted to provide this review in case others are on the fence over these same potential problems. First the packaging. I purposely got these clamps shipped from and sold by Amazon because I knew they would help me if the products arrived damaged. Packaging is 100% from Bessey, Amazon is not adding any of their boxes. This kit is heavy, just under 40 lbs (I weighed it) so the potential to get damaged in shipping is there. The box arrived a bit banged up so I was worried I would have to deal with the hassle of exchanging, but everything was fine. There are three individual packages within the main box, and once I got past the initial banged up outer box, everything was in good shape. You get 1) the two 24" clamps packaged together in a box, 2) the two 50" clamps packaged together in a second box, and 3) the extenders packaged together in a third box. The extenders are loose in their smaller box but they are beefy and each comes in that super-strong-cut-your-hand-open-rigid plastic. The clamps come with a cardboard protector on the rails and the ends are snuggled in high density plastic foam. No damage. I think the fact that this is a kit helps with shipping, because there are multiple items, and therefore everything fits together like a puzzle and helps with overall resistance to shipping damage. As for my second concern, the jaws are indeed parallel. There is a slight angle to the jaws when not tightened down, but this corrects to parallel under tension. Time will tell how these really perform, but first impression = impressed. Happy I made the purchase. ... show more

  • They hold on when the going gets tough, unlike my ex!
Size: Table Style: Table Pattern Name: Clamp Kit
The title is really all you need to know. These are cheap but effective, I'm using this as a better table clamp for my direct drive wheel (CSL DD) found a printable base on thingiverse that these are compatible with and it's been working flawlessness. I appreciate the rubber tops on the clamp end so my desk surface isn't getting absolutely destroyed! I've been using this for just over a month, and I've only had to retighten them occasionally (as expected when the DD is shaking the crap out of my work surface). These are simple but fantastically rigid! ... show more

  • Great clamp, needs grip
Size: Jr. 18 in. Style: Jr. Clamp Pattern Name: Clamp Kit
I want to love these but plan to add paddle grips to handles. Hard to grip to tighten snug. Work great when work piece is resting in clamp with handles up. Most of us have dozens of clamps and still not enough. Would be 5 star with a bit of grip. Body is solid, slides great, good quality.

  • Get This Clamp!
Size: Parallel 40 in. Style: Parallel K Body Pattern Name: Clamp Kit
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

  • Paid for Quality - Got Quality
Size: Kit 1 40 in. Style: Kit 1 Pattern Name: Clamp Kit
I’ve never had this quality in a clamp. Changes how I glue up stuff. They speed up the process because you can clamp so much more precisely. And they are stinkin’ strong. Pricy, but they seem to be worth it. Now, let’s see how they last.

  • Good Clamp
Size: Parallel 12 in. Style: Parallel K Body Pattern Name: Clamp Kit
I have a bunch of Bessey clamps, from 12 inch to 50 inch. I've always been very satisfied with them. I particularly like these K-Body REVO clamps (compared to the older Bessey clamps) because they have an Allen socket in the end of the handle, which allows me to use an Allen wrench to really clamp down with them. Some of my Bessey clamps go back over ten years - with fairly heavy use - and they still work well. I have no hesitation in recommending them. ... show more
