12" Bar Clamps Set, 2PC

These clamps are a slight upgrade from the cheap plastic cast quick-clamps I usually purchase. Slightly pricier, significantly superior, but ultimately still plastic. Cast iron bodies still have their place when clamp force is high and jaw deflection is unacceptable. For my current needs, this plastic is perfect. Good clamping force, modest deflection, and a pliable mechanism. Most importantly, no slipping along the slide. I'm very pleased after 6 months of weekend use. The signature ability to attach clamps end-to-end for purposes of extension turned out to be more useful and more usable than expected, and their build quality and clamping force are commendable. If I have any criticism, it is that they are a little bulkier than I expected. The clamp heads are perhaps a half inch larger in all dimensions than comparable cheap-o clamps, so there is a drawer that simply doesn't hold these clamps where it did hold others. Hopefully that bulk adds durability. Beyond that... I like their build feel, unique features, and effectiveness very much. Great clamps.

Great quality

Jorgensen clamps are better than most in my opinion. The bar clamps work perfectly for my applications. They allow quick and easy clamping with one-hand operation.

Impressive quality, build and functionality, twice as expensive any of my previous clamps but the quality is so much better

These are great clamps, so easy to use and they clamp down tight. I just ordered a second set.

Surprisingly versatile.

These clamps are easy to use and pretty sturdy. I found the clamping pads, which are plastic, to be a little off flush but not enough to hinder clamping. The added feature of having a pressure guage showing pounds of clamp pressure is nice but not tightly accurate at all. The clamps are versatile by being able to combine clamps to stretch out into a longer clamp without losing sturdiness. They are a little heavy. Overall quality clamps.

I looked at the other reviews and gave these a try. I like the heavy duty and deeper throat than others. They are nice and sturdy and I even like the pressure gauge to see the relative force I am applying. I have a helper that tends to overdo it so I can keep an eye on it. LOL
