You can never have enough of these clamps
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have over 20 of these clamps long and short. They function well all the time. Some I have had for over 20 years some are new. You cannot tell the difference in use. They are strong and long lasting.

    Good Value
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a production box maker and have a wall full of the medium duty steel bar clamps. They are my go-to clamps for production glue-ups. They're strong. reliable and a good value for the price.

      Great Quality!
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this a few weeks back and I am extremely pleased with it. This clamp is very high quality and is perfect for many things. I found no issues with it at all and I would greatly recommend to anyone looking for steel clamps for their projects!

        You Can Never Have Too Many "Jorgenson" Clamps
        The highest quality clamp I have been able to readily find over the past few years. I inherited some very nice clamps from my Grandfather many years ago that might be a bit more rugged, but at a significant liability on weight. It is my understanding that these clamps are made in Chicago which only adds to my affinity for this product. And to conclude I would be remiss if I did not repeat what I have heard Norm Abrams of New Yankee Workshop say many times; "You can never have too many clamps"

        Not the normal...I hope.
        Jorgensen usually makes good clamps, but the last set I I bought had clamps that are bored Crooked. I hope you aren't giving up on making quality tools.

          Doesn't lock into place
          I thought it was just me but I've watched videos over and over again and it's just effective I assume. People say they're great. Mine's not. I've never been able to use it.

            Quality clamp like all other Jorgensen tools
            I still have wood screw handle F style clamps from Jorgensen I bought 7 years ago and these are just as good if not even better because of the screw handle being more comfortable. Between the F style clamps and quick grip style clamps I own that are Jorgensen I've always been nothing other than satisfied. I'm adding more to my inventory of clamps (woodworkers can never have enough clamps) and I'd be foolish not too. The quality is above the price point and there's no dealing with slippage and clamps releasing pressure on a glue up like the blue brand does after having them for so long.

              Great clamps except …
              The clamps are nicely made, only issue is the rubber ends to protect the wood aren’t really rubber, they’re more plastic and rigid and they don’t fit well, I bought 4 of these two weeks ago and I’ve lost at least one of the “rubber” protectors on every one of the clamps while using them.. overall 3.5 out of 5 since that’s such an important feature. I wanted the sliding handheld clamps but I’m hesitant to purchase for this very reason.

              Thanks for letting us know your concern. We use the durable plastic for wood protection. We didn’t receive any complain that it dent the wood with the black cap. If you still have questions, please contact jerry@greatstartools.com. Thanks!
                Better than Bessey?
                Okay, I have used Bessey Clamps for years and years and have enjoyed using them. I ordered a few of these and was beyond impressed. With the Bessey clamps that are the same style/type, the slick wood handles prevent me from taking advantage of the strength the clamps have to offer. Not so with the Jorgenson's! I just ordered and unboxed 16 of these bad boys recently. Thank you Pony Jorgenson, for making a superior product that makes torquing the clamps so much easier on this old guy's wrists and hands. I'll never look back!

                  Versatile, easy to use, durable
                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve used my set of Jorgensen bar clamps for about 20 years to clamp projects from cabinets to cutting boards. They consistently hold well, and tighten easily. With the add-on caps (inexpensive), there’s no marring my wood edges.

                    Good Clamp
                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Clamps just as well as other brand-name F-style clutch bar clamps. Handle is easy to grip and turn.

                      Easy to use. Intuitive.
                      I have used Jorgensen bar clamps for 30+ years and bought clamps for my two sons when they moved away from home. I didn't want them to miss out on the always handy help you get from a Jorgensen bar clamp.

                          My Go To clamp!
                          These clamps are my go to clamp. They have stayed a simple, straightforward design for years. They work fantastic for their intended use and I have stretched their limits with success.

                            Great Clamp
                            Purchased 20 of these clamps 6”, 12” and 24”. They are replacing similar Clamps from an other company. The best feature of these clamps are the handles which lets you tighten the clamps to the appropriate tightness while the handles on the other brand are painted wood which tend to be slippery especially if you are sweaty.

                              Quality Product
                              I have been purchasing Jorgensen pipe clamps since 1988. Recently i purchased a few more sets for an expanded project. The new clamps are still the same quality as my original purchase.

                                Bought 4 each of 36", 24" & 12" at a " Mom & Pop" hardware store in the 1980's and I still never hesitate to grab one on any woodworking project I'm doing.

                                    Works great under pressure
                                    I've been a Jorgensen steel bar clamp owner for nearly 20 years and never once been disappointed by their performance. I have 6, 12 and 18 inch light and medium duty clamps. You can never have too many clamps, so I gladly have 40 in my possession. And yes, there are projects in which I use all of them at the same time! It's amazing how much pressure you can get from a simple handle being twisted. They work great under all the pressure you will need for nearly all your clamping needs. My older clamps did not come with the cushioned rubber ends. They were a great improvement to an otherwise wonderful product. I don't think you'll ever be disappointed with using them.

                                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used Jorgensen bar clamps for various wood working projects for many years and have not been disappointed. I have used some other brands but always come back to Jorgensen for quality and value.

                                        Easily worth the money
                                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have owned a number bar clamps over the years, some made in the US, some made over seas. In my earlier days of woodworking I always looked for the cheapest tool then often regretted it. My Pony bar clamps have outlasted other top brands, always working as well as they did news. And they are the clamps I reach for from my tool rack. They are well work a little more up-front cost.

                                                I have about a dozen of these clamps in several lengths. They are simply the best clamp available. They are so much better then the pipe clamps they replaced.
