Bessey Bessey K Body Revo Jr. Parallel Clamp, 36" Single

I was using some of the other F-clamps, which work fine. But this, is amazing. Building parallel wood working projects just became so more easier. I even ordered a second one. If you do glue ups on mid to smaller projects, get this.

I ordered four of these clamps three came out great one clamp was missing the small black clip on the end of the bar Normally, there’s three pieces that were zip tied together This one had the two smaller pieces zip tied, but the other piece was missing

I love these things! It’s a reasonable trade-off, 1/2” for $30 (approx) and if you know how valuable parallel clamps are for cabinet assembly or glue ups and you gotta have some of these things. I found these are just as useful as full sized parallel clamps for the vast majority of tasks. My clamps arrived minus one of the jaw face protectors and a rail clip (I forget the technical name), I contacted Bessie and with very little effort in a short amount of time the missing parts were in my mailbox. I’m ordering more especially when/if they go on sale. One thing of note they are difficult to open for the first time but don’t panic. You can slide the jaw face protectors out others front and that gives you enough room to loosen the bind and open with ease. Cheers.

I bought these because they were less expensive than the heavy duty parallel clamps. They are no longer usable because they won't open. I should have spent the additional money. I have owned Bessy heavy duty parallel clamps for over 20 years and they always work. These are not of the same quality.

An excellent tool for the DIY or professional Joiner. I especially like the pivoting quich adjusting arm that goes a long way when executing jobs. I purchased a pair of the 40" set and now looking for a pair of 12" or 18" ones to put in my 'Cart' for purchase...

Bought these due to viewing a video review. 3rd party reviewer spike highly. These are durable, good bar clamps, a bit clunky with operation but generally a good median priced clamp.

I mistakenly purchased 2 of these clamps. Compared to the regular Bessy K-Body clamps, they are noticeably "cost reduced". Specifically, the steel is lighter and notably less ridged, the jaws are cheaper and shorter, and the mechanism on one of the clamps was very difficult to open. Oh, the other clamp was broken.... it wouldn't open at all. I returned them and got the non-JR version. If you are going to be using clamps for the foreseeable future, I would not recommend investing in the higher quality Bessy.

Great clamps. My only complaint and it is a possible user error, is that changing from one size to another can be trick sometimes. going from smaller to larger openings or the other way around isn't always a flick of the handles. There is a lot of wiggle, push, pull
