Review of Jorgensen 33424 ISD-3 24-Inch One-Handed Clamp

These rock, much better than the Irwin's, and just as expensive, BUT more versatile!

Amazon's packaging of clamps have *much* to be desired, as I received 4 clamps in a box, with crimpled up paper, that was the packaging, 3 were OK and the 4th was missing the bar stop pin(it was in box) so it vibrated loose during shipment.

Review of Bessey XV5-100 4-Inch VarioClippix Sliding Arm Plastic Spring Clamp

What a great clamp!! Replaces all your other spring-type clamps in one unit. Holds just about any 4 inch or less wood joint together plenty tight for gluing. Quick and easy to adjust. For routine smaller work, this is the only clamp you need to reach for! Suggest the 4 inch rather than 3 inch size.

Product Description:
A clever variation on a spring clamp, the unique design of this variable capacity clamp lets you create an infinite range of openings up to 4", with constant, firm pressure at all openings. The top jaw slides easily with one hand, and it grips firmly on the notched rail to ensure a firm grip at all settings. The variable opening also controls the pressure. For lighter pressure, click jaws wider than your work; for maximum pressure, click jaws down to a smaller opening. The soft pivoting pads provide a firm grip on your work while remaining gentle on your work surfaces. The large ergonomic handles are easy to operate at any and all openings with their nonslip inserts for a firm, safe grip.

Review of Wilton 63144 Heavy-Duty Woodworking Vise

This is the first woodworkers vise that I have ever owned, and I did as much research as possible before buying. I found at least four models in various 'box' stores and woodworkers stores. Every one seemed crudely made. I compared a few models available from Amazon, but lacked enough experience to make an informed choice. I ordered the Wilton because of the generally favorable reviews. It looks and feels like a quality tool. I think that I will like the fact that the screw is covered by the frame, and will not easily collect dust. My first serious use was to debark some small logs. I found that the outside jaw face swiveled nicely to provide a firm grip on almost any log, the mechanism was quick to operate and a pleasure to use, and there was no 'give' whatsoever when I peeled off large strips of wood with my drawknife.
I am really happy with my choice.

Review of Bessey TGJ2.536 2-1/2-Inch x 36-Inch Regular Duty Tradesmen Bar Clamp

The nice thing about the Bessey Tradesmen's is that they are heavier duty than the competition, in the medium duty class, and you don't have to take out a second mortgage to afford a set of them. The locking mechanism works without any hassles, and the grip is strong. All in all a nice piece of equipment. A major competitor sells this model for less money, but it is also a lighter weight clamp. I like them all. Bessey makes great stuff, you can't go wrong with these. They are a great general-purpose clamp. Highly recommended.

Review of Bessey TG4.016 4-Inch x 16-Inch Regular Duty Tradesmen Bar Clamp

I've always used the clutch style bar clamp and have about two dozen of various sizes of a bargain brand. They have always performed acceptable, but when I saw on Amazon some Bessey clutch style clamps at very reasonable prices, I thought I would try some. For just a little more money, the Bessey is twice the quality. So I needed some clamps with a little more reach and decided to give the tradesmen style a try. Very impressed, the adjustable arm stays where you put it, the bar stock is very "beefy". Quality at a reasonable price. No more bargain brand for me.
