#1 | | Q about K-Body Clamps Name: Charles City: Rutherfordton State: NC County: Rutherford Join Date: Nov 2007 Age: 45  11-06-2009, 11:33 PM
Has anyone ever seen red K-Body style parallel clamps that were NOT Bessey?

Yeah, Peachtree sells a very cheap version, under their own name. I hope no one dislikes me enough to give me some for Christmas. |

Jet, Jorgensen, Woodriver (Woodcraft brand), Irwin, Stanley ... there may be others? | |

eyekode left off Woodline -- Charles, there is a good review of parallel jaw clamps in the 2010 FWW Tools and Shops issue that just came out -- they favor the Jet and Jorgensen over the Bessey Revo KBody. Bessey was the first to make the parallel jaw clamps and in my opinion, they are the best clamps I have ever used.

"Red" is an operative word here. They definitely aren't Jet, and I don't think any of the others you mentioned are red. They're either Bessey K-body or a clone.

The Woodline clamps are red and have a distinctive handle pattern.

I've done some glue-ups with these, but they're the last clamps I turn to. I'd rather wrestle with 50" Jets for a 12" glueup than use these. Not entirely worthless, but it's close.

Jorgensens are the same reddish orange as the Bessy. Jorgensens have a wooden handle. | |

I had time to look at them again more closely before the auction. They were Bessey and I won them!

Okay, Charles, now you got to fess up all the gory details -- you got some of the best clamps on the planet, but we gotta know size, quantity and, of course, the prices.... Hope things are well with you in your new digs and job...
