JORGENSEN 2-pack Steel Bar Clamps Set, 12-inch Medium Duty, 600 Lbs Load Limit, for Woodworking

Good product for limited use.

I bought a couple Jorgensen clamps probably 15 years ago. Orange with silver rail, same design as what I just purchased but not as long in span. At first, I noted the plastic flex protectors on pair received and thought, no, I need metal on wood (working with oak, doesn't mostly care about clamp pressure) for a tight glue fit. Well, of course, these come off! Will keep for something delicate that needs a softer touch. And, bonus, these protectors fit my older clamps. My older set has classic wooden handles and new set has black gripper-type hard plastic composite handles. These new handles work fine, just a bit harder on hands, and newer screw mechanisms seem exactly same as older screw mechanisms. What I like about Jorgenson is the easily adjusted gross fit setting with the metal tabs on notched slider rail. Good deal and great simple yet well made durable clamps.

You just can't beat a Jorgensen clamp! You know exactly how they will perform each and every time you use it even after decades of performance! Almost 40 years of woodworking and the old adage that you can NEVER have enough clamps is still true ... which is why I added these!

I returned them because they were too large for what I needed.

You can't go wrong with Jorgensen clamps! The best feature is the wide-grip hand action with the rubber coating. Great when you have arthritis in your hands. I have hundreds of bar clamps and these are my go-to ones!

I got a ton of these, in ALL sizes. You can never have too many clamps!

On the theory that a woodworker can't have too many clamps, I ordered these to fill a need for 12" ones. The quality is actually better than I expected. Smooth and strong. My only complaint is the plastic fittings over the ends slip off too easily. I can glue them if it becomes an annoyance. Sometimes I'll want the steel to directly touch the wood, so I probably won't glue them

These are very high quality and strong. Pretty much a must-have for the garage or workshop. They work great. The only thing I didn't like was that the rubber tip on the top seems too loose and you have to keep putting them back on if you're not very careful. Ugh.
