Bessey U-Style Bar Clamp,Step Over,8 In,2 Deep, steel with red wood handle The Customer Image shows the 8" clamp and the 6" clamp. The 8" opens to 8" and the 6" to 6" -- otherwise they are the same. Made in China. My work shop has well over 100 clamps of every design, size, strength, etc. Some are for metal, some are for wood, some are small and some are huge, some are long, some are short. Every clamping job should have the proper one for best results – and for some projects, these little clamps are just right. They are the only small clamps I found with the top in a U shape rather than flat -- so it can clear some work projections. Here’s my take on some of the 1 & 2 star reviewer complaints: - “The Amazon photo says made in Germany”. The clamps are made in China, and that bait and switch photo should be replaced. - “Clamp doesn't open to specified size”. This is probably because Amazon sent the wrong clamp. Return it. - “Any vibration will loosen them”. I've used these clamps hundreds of times, but you have to get them TIGHT, as you would any clamp, for them to stay in place. - “Won't clamp”. Push the sliding bar toward the work to be clamped while tightening the handle, as you'd do for any clamp of this type. - “Flimsy construction”. This clamp’s construction is typical of a small light duty device. Buy a stronger clamp if that's what you want. - "it is very hard to get this clamp to stay in place. there is no lock system on the part that slides up and down" and "The handle keeps sliding". See above on how to tighten a clamp of this type. Read more

These are awesome. Non-marring, light weight, easy to store and transport. I already have about a dozen and wanted more, some in the truck, more at home. They are lighter duty, but they perfectly fit a particular niche. The clamps themselves are light, which means they won't imbalance or twist the project due to their weight, and the glueup is still light enough to move easily, even with a dozen of these clamps on it. They provide enough pressure for almost everything I need to do. One other side benefit is that they are incredibly easy to store because of the hook. I screw a cleat to the edge of a shelf and they hang nicely on it, no need for some special rack. Read more

One of the simplest designs I've used and I have a variety of clamps, this is probably one of the easiest and most effective designs I've used. Takes a little practice to get use to the way this design works but once you've got the knack it's a great little clamp. I use these a lot now. Just wish they made a larger version. Read more

Lightweight clamp is small but reasonably function. For home craft projects. Read more

El metal del que están fabricadas es de muy buena calidad, y la presión que ejercen es excelente para el tipo de prensa, ademas esta de mas decir el sobresaliente cuidado en los detalles que siempre uno espera de un producto premium y que ademas de igual manera se agradece y valora, en general muy lindas prensas.
