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

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.

"Worked very well to clamp the boards together" Read more

"...Hard to grip to tighten snug. Work great when work piece is resting in clamp with handles up...." Read more

74 customers mention71 positive3 negative

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

22 customers mention16 positive6 negative

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

50 customers mention31 positive19 negative

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

27 customers mention12 positive15 negative

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

14 customers mention6 positive8 negative

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

Im enjoy the parallel style clamps but needed a longer clamp for large cabinets. The bessey flex head clamp adapter was purchased for irregular angles.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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jaws parallel and product arrived undamaged
Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2020
These clamps are not cheap so I did my homework. Folks has issues with the clamps getting damaged during shipping due to inadequate packaging, and they had issues with the jaws not being parallel when tightened down. I had neither of these issues so wanted to provide this review in case others are on the fence over these same potential problems. First the packaging. I purposely got these clamps shipped from and sold by Amazon because I knew they would help me if the products arrived damaged. Packaging is 100% from Bessey, Amazon is not adding any of their boxes. This kit is heavy, just under 40 lbs (I weighed it) so the potential to get damaged in shipping is there. The box arrived a bit banged up so I was worried I would have to deal with the hassle of exchanging, but everything was fine. There are three individual packages within the main box, and once I got past the initial banged up outer box, everything was in good shape. You get 1) the two 24" clamps packaged together in a box, 2) the two 50" clamps packaged together in a second box, and 3) the extenders packaged together in a third box. 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. The clamps come with a cardboard protector on the rails and the ends are snuggled in high density plastic foam. No damage. I think the fact that this is a kit helps with shipping, because there are multiple items, and therefore everything fits together like a puzzle and helps with overall resistance to shipping damage. As for my second concern, the jaws are indeed parallel. There is a slight angle to the jaws when not tightened down, but this corrects to parallel under tension. Time will tell how these really perform, but first impression = impressed. Happy I made the purchase.

Reviewed in Mexico on July 8, 2023
Son súper prácticas, las puedes colocar acostadas o paradas y sabes que no se van a caer, tienen una sujeción muy fuerte y lo mejor en mi caso, es que adquirí unos combos que tenían dos de 50 pulgadas de margen de agarre y otras dos de 24 pulgadas de margen, además de 4 bloques conjuntos de prensas para marcos.
Estaban en oferta!! así que adquirí 3 combos, estoy muy satisfecho con la compra. Definitivamente volvería a comprar otras, ya que como dicen… “unas prensas nunca están de más”

Reviewed in Mexico on June 30, 2023
Llegó súper bien empaquetado, no sufrió ningún daño a pesar de qué es muy pesado el porque, son muy robustas y grandes. Simplemente genial y lo valen, lo mejor es que se pueden unir entre sí y alcanzar una mayor longitud.

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