After owning several Bessey clamps, I figured I’d give these a try because they were 1/2 the price when Rockler was having a sale.. Heavy clamps but the plastic feels cheaper. The sliding mechanism isn’t as good as the Bessey on some of them, but on others it works great. I see these as comparing Grizzly to Powermatic. While they aren’t “The gold standard”, they’ll be more than sufficient for my use as a hobbyist. The 1100 psi of clamping force is more than enough as Titebond doesn’t recommend over 250 psi.

Good review. I didn’t know about the Titebond limit.

I preferer the jet clamps to either much easier to adjust by pressing release button.

I picked up the same pair of clamps but haven’t had the chance to use them yet. I completely agree with your review, the plastic seems a little janky but I like the grooved bars instead of the smooth ones on my Irwin clamps.
