Bar clamps come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors that will surprise you when you look at a picture. Lightweight clamps are less sturdy and are intended for crafts and items weighing less than 10 lbs. The longer clamps, described as "Heavy Duty," may look alike in a photo, but are sturdier and make it possible to clamp larger pieces of furniture and counter tops. Each is priced differently based on the firm's size, quality, and durability. Interestingly, Chinese made clamps are the cheapest, while German clamps for good quality are the most expensive.

Selected User Reviews For Bessey GSCC2.524 2.5-Inch x 24-Inch Economy Clutch Style Bar Clamp
Generally, they will not hold much torque, and will not be able to hold much weight. I found that the more I tightened, the more they bowed.
They are "economy" clamps, however I put them to the test bearing down on the pressure and you will get a bow on the bar if you go over what they can handle, as someone complained. However, they held up to it and after I let go of them, the bow had vanished. They are known for their economy, but still maintain the quality and durability of Bessey products. The only way to prevent that bow from appearing is by treating them properly or investing in the heavy-duty.
There are some negative aspects This is why I gave it a two star rating, once you look at the attached picture, you will see. The way it was packaged was unacceptable, so I thought I would let you know. The behavior is unforgivable. As luck would have it, UPS handled my package with care, so nothing was damaged or broken. Here are some of the good things I am very pleased with this product. It works great, does everything it says and is very precise. The quality is much better than I thought it would be.
This is a product I highly recommend!.
Clamps that work well.
I have a variety of sizes and they all seem to do the trick for this amateur woodworker.
