Summary: bessey one handed edge clamp review
Comment: As a woodworking product developer and tool consultant(with more variety of clamps than perhaps anyone from here to Timbuktu) I can say securely I know whereof I speak: these are well intended but very poorly performing edge clamps that fail on multiple fronts: over and under engineered, durometer and coefficient of friction on opposing grip pads is not suited to task,jaw depth is insufficient as one almost always need caul to spread load, pressure is too low, setup awkward, price too high etc etc.
Try cam teardrop type Euro made or cheapo China spring loaded version edge clamps(careful of rubber jaw liners delaminating!!).If using larger ones on on a substantive edgeband (ie and tightening securely)I would use a rubber and steel sandwich or rubber and thin hardboard ply buffer pads to spread load as tear drop jaws can dent ply that may only be visible when you apply finish!!

Summary: Perfect clamp
Comment: It never ceases to amaze me that someone would rate this great clamp poorly because he was not smart enough to know what he was buying. The clamp is in fact a great clamp. I have 6 and use them almost daily. It does exactly as the ad states.

Summary: Throat Depth Counts!
Comment: I wasted money on this clamp because the description didn't mention the throat depth. I needed to clamp a 3" ear to the top of cabinet sides thus making the toe kick by overhanging the cabinet top. This clamp looked to be perfect, but the throat depth was about an inch shy. The side grabbers wouldn't reach past the ear to grasp the cabinet edge.The clamp would be OK for edge banding, but if you are doing anything else, be sure to check the required throat depth
