Customer Reviews for BESSEY 4 in. Capacity Square Jawed Ratcheting Hand Clamp with 3 in. Throat Depth

I am sorry I purchased this. I cannot squeeze with a enough pressure to make it stay where I need it. I have a blood blister where is pinched my pinky finger while opening it. So far, it's been useless.

Save yourself some cash and frustration and buy some chip clips instead! They are much stronger than this junk. Have yet to find a project that they actually work on, INCLUDING BEING USED AS A CHIP CLIP! Garbage!

Very practical good quality and serves its purpose...

This is a good clamp to have for lighter projects. This is not a heavy duty clamp nor does it have a strong clamp strength but that is not the intent of this clamp. So it does great at what it is meant to be and has a non marking pad surface.

These clamps work excellent, if you use them correctly. These clamps only have 40 pounds of clamping force. The reason they only have 40 pounds of clamping force is that they’re made for clamping face frames and cabinet door frames, things that you don’t want a lot of force applied to, you just want enough to hold it in place Until the glue dries. These clamps are perfect because they sit flat on your workbench so you can assemble the door on top of them....perfect

I really wanted to like these clamps. I have older 4 inch ratcheting Bessey clamps which I love using. Unfortunately, the newer clamps pictured have a much smaller handle, and, therefore, allow very little leverage for tightening down on your material. These will be my first ever return of a Bessey product.

This clamp held great for my semi trailer dump valve fast shipping, great clamp to have around when needed, would buy this again great quality

Excellent price and quality

easy to use, quick release

very easy to use. worked very well for me. good value for the money.

I bought I instead of 2

They don’t stay clamped for the purpose I bought them for. Will return

Great product at a good price.

Nice product. Sturdy. Wish grip was 1 - 2 inches longer for grip leverage.

You can’t get the clamp on tight enough to hold anything in place.

The clamps work for very light duty work, but you can't get enough grip on them to hold anything tight like when you try to hold a piece of steel and drill a hole. It lets the steel turn loose very easily.

Did not work for the project I purchased for

Had to return. The teeth on the grip wasn't strong enough to move the mat!! It also looked like the teeth on the grip would wear down very quickly.
