 POOR FUNCTIONING January 4, 2007
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
Too flimsy for serious wood working. Clamping jaw does not easily move along connecting shaft. Any glue on the connecting shaft/column stops the whole clamp from working. How can you use a clamp to glue wood together and not expect to get some glue on the clamp parts??? Spend the money for the better Bessey clamps. They never should have put this model on the market. It only makes the rest of their products look questionable. I gave four of these away.
 K Clamp Bessey vs Gross Stabil January 26, 2005
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I own several K Clamps from Bessey and I am not very happy with it. The major thing is the plastic. In case the Clamps fall, it will break immediatly. I had this experience a few times. You can not even get any spare parts.
The Gross Stabil Clamps which I own last longer and not one broke. But even if it would, you can buy the parts seperate.
Everything else is fine with both Clamps. There is no difference in the daily use.
The good thing on the Gross Clamps is that they are a few $ cheaper, but not huge amounts.

Until I bought a few pair of these things I couldn't understand what the fuss was about. You put wood between two pieces of metal connected by a screw - it's clamped! Wrong, oh, wrong was I. I've since bought a "few" more:-) I bought some of the bigger K-body's as well for their size and strength, but they are heavier and cost a lot more. And as the other review stated, if you can't figure out how to use 'em - send 'em to me - I can't get enough clamps in the shop!Tommy O
Great Clamping Power, Lighter than the "Big" Besseys March 13, 2003

First of all, I laughed until my sides hurt from reading that other review. What the heck was going on there?
Anyway, it wasn't written by anyone who used these clamps. I have some of them, and here's the "real deal." First of all, they're Besseys, so the quality is typical Bessey -- first rate. If you're buying these to upgrade from the orange "Pony" brand clamps, the Besseys are a definite improvement. They're much much heavier. If, on the other hand, you're going to compare them to the standard Bessey's, which are much more $$$, you're not going to be pleased.
The real benefit with the UniKlamp is the light weight. Many times, I would reach for Pony's or some other light-duty clamp just to keep from having to wield one of the big Besseys, since they're so heavy. The UniKlamp is somewhere in-between the two, and I find myself using them an awful lot. In fact, they're my favorite clamp now.
Oh... and if you can't figure out how to use them (as in the other review), send them to me!
Be safe!

I won't know the full story until my Grandson-in-law opens the package on Christmas day, but my husband, who has worked with tools all his life, had a heck of a time figuring out how it was supposed to work. The terse explanation on your web page says what it is supposed to do, but a more thorough description is definitely in order!
Thanks for getting it to me in a timely manner anyhow!
