Product Description
The large jaw faces are an easily recognizable characteristic of the BESSEY K Body parallel and case clamps. They allow strong, precise and gentle clamping and spreading of workpieces. Thanks to their extra-large contact surfaces, the original BESSEY K Body REVO parallel clamp and the lightweight UniKlamp case clamp distribute clamping force evenly even when being used at high clamping forces. Cabinetmakers, Carpenters, Joiners and Kitchen fitters all benefit from the use of parallel jaw clamps because they are ideal for clamping large areas without damaging the material. When In use parallel clamps provide very accurate clamping support and are ideal for many applications including furniture making, restoration, cabinet construction, and holding large panels and frames in place when gluing. BESSEY offers the unique K Body REVO parallel clamp in two versions – with fixed (KRE) or sliding upper section (KREV) – each with a range of openings up to 2.5 meters. Both of these versions offer up to a nominal 90 degrees of clamping capability and 1700 lbs of everyday clamping force. Another advantage of the K Body REVO clamps is that they have additional workpiece supports on the rail that prevent the workpiece from coming into contact with the rail and being damaged. This also allows the clamps to be placed on the workbench and then used as a glue press. Further, the sliding clamp can also be converted to a spreading function without the need for tools, and there are also a number of accessories available. BESSEY. Simply better
Customer reviews
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

Customers like the ease of use and quality of the hardware clamp vise. For example, they mention it's simple and easy to set up. Some appreciate the clamps. That said, opinions are mixed on adjustability, weight, and value.
AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers like the quality of the hardware clamp vise. They say it's well-made, durable, and effective. Some say that the clamps are top-tier tools and the box was intact.
"...The extenders are loose in their smaller box but they are beefy and each comes in that super-strong-cut-your-hand-open-rigid plastic...." Read more
"Worked very well to clamp the boards together" Read more
"Only buy bessey. Those are hard core powerful ones. Never break. Have some of those for years!!!" Read more
"...Hard to grip to tighten snug. Work great when work piece is resting in clamp with handles up...." Read more
Customers are satisfied with the clamps. They mention that they are great, good at clamping, and useful for special applications. The bolts do their job in holding the clamp, and the clamp is tough. They say the Besseys stay aligned and clamp down with the kind of force they need when gluing up. They also say that the clamp extends the bar clamps well, and that they lock much better than F-clamps.
"...everything fits together like a puzzle and helps with overall resistance to shipping damage. As for my second concern, the jaws are indeed parallel...." Read more
"...Seriously, it's like the hammer of clamps - it doesn't just hold stuff together; it practically yells, You shall not pass! to any wobbly wood piece...." Read more
"...Otherwise the clamp is useful at 12 inches, better than a wood handle but not as much grip and torque as others...." Read more
"...The Besseys stay aligned and clamp down with the kind of force I need when gluing up a table top...." Read more
Customers find the hardware clamp vise easy to use. They mention it's simple and easy to set up. The extenders are easy to handle and go together in a snap. The hardware fits together like a puzzle, making it easy to clamp and remove items.
"...because there are multiple items, and therefore everything fits together like a puzzle and helps with overall resistance to shipping damage...." Read more
"...These are simple but fantastically rigid!" Read more
"...These are durable, good bar clamps, a bit clunky with operation but generally a good median priced clamp." Read more
"...well made (which I've come to expect from Bessey) and they're easy to use...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the value of the hardware clamp vise. Some mention it's value for money, a good median priced clamp, and priceless. Others say it'll be a very good buy for the weekend woodworker.
"The title is really all you need to know.These are cheap but effective, I'm using this as a better table clamp for my direct drive wheel..." Read more
"These clamps are not cheap so I did my homework...." Read more
"...Overall, these worked well for me and were the right price point." Read more
"...but overall they still seem to be great value for money if you are after a smaller parallel clamp. I would order again." Read more
Customers are mixed about the adjustability of the hardware clamp vise. Some mention it's rock solid, super tight, and easy to adjust. However, others say that it'll not fit their bench, is too small, and the adapter does not fit on that size clamp.
"These are small, as one reviewer noted. However, that was JUST what I needed...." Read more
"...with a cardboard protector on the rails and the ends are snuggled in high density plastic foam. No damage...." Read more
"...A plus! However, initial fitting is a bit of slight work due to the hole drill-outs of the bolts...." Read more
"...The pins of the clamp fit perfectly in the holes and really improved the options for using my tiny Craftsman table saw...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the weight of the hardware clamp vise. Some mention it's pretty lightweight, while others say it'll be difficult to torque down very hard. Some say the clamps are flimsy and lightweight, but others say the extender is too heavy.
"...This kit is heavy, just under 40 lbs (I weighed it) so the potential to get damaged in shipping is there...." Read more
"...Pretty lightweight as well, so I would not torque down very hard. So, think light weight with limited range." Read more
"This is a very well made clamp.Too heavy for the application that I had intended it for." Read more
"The original parallel clamps. Well built, heavy, worth the cost. They lock much better than F-clamps...." Read more

Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2020
These are cheap but effective, I'm using this as a better table clamp for my direct drive wheel (CSL DD) found a printable base on thingiverse that these are compatible with and it's been working flawlessness. I appreciate the rubber tops on the clamp end so my desk surface isn't getting absolutely destroyed!
I've been using this for just over a month, and I've only had to retighten them occasionally (as expected when the DD is shaking the crap out of my work surface). These are simple but fantastically rigid!
Too heavy for the application that I had intended it for.
One of the two clamps took longer to receive. Upon receipt, it was immediately noticed that the bottom retainer clip that comes with the clamp was missing. I have reached out to Bessey warranty department to get this resolved and will update this review based on the results.

Comparándola con otras prensas Bessey es mucho más gruesa y robusta.
